How do I bill for additional visits occurring on the same day for the same patient?

Duplicate visits are additional visits occurring on the same day for the same patient (at different times) and billed under the same fee code (e.g. 00100).

To bill duplicate visits:

• Submit a claim for each visit on a separate line
• Use submission code “D” for the second visit
• Indicate the medical reason for the second visit in the note record (e.g. patient condition worsened; seen for new condition).
• Note: Claims will be processed electronically if you include the start times.

Multiple visits are visits occurring on the same day for the same patient (at different times) and billed under different fee codes (e.g. 00100 for first visit and 13611 for second visit)

To bill multiple visits:

• Submit a claim for each visit on a separate line
• Indicate the medical reason for the second visit in a note record – you must specify that the patient returned
• Note: Claims will be processed electronically if you include the start times.
