A patient comes in for a scheduled evaluation and management visit, which has a set fee. During the visit, the physician decides to perform a minor surgical procedure that was not previously scheduled. How should these charges be posted?
Post the scheduled evaluation and management visit charge only, assuming the minor procedure is included.
Only post the charge for the minor surgical procedure, as it was the more significant service provided.
Post both the scheduled evaluation and management visit charge and the separate charge for the minor surgical procedure.
Combine the fees for both services into one single charge that encompasses the entire visit.
