Billing charges on claims for same date of service

As a reminder, when billing for an office visit with more than one service provided, we ask that you bill all the service codes related to the visit on one claim rather than submitting separate claims for each code. If a visit has already been billed and additional charges are needed, the original claim should be corrected – this eliminates the need to submit a new claim and avoids unnecessary claims denials. 
  
For example, if a patient attends an annual examination and receives a vaccine during the exam, the visit and the administration of the vaccine should be billed on one claim. If the administration of the vaccine was not included in the original claim, submit a corrected claim to include the additional code.
