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?
Combine the fees for both services into one single charge that encompasses the entire visit.
Post the scheduled evaluation and management visit charge only, assuming the minor procedure is included.
Post both the scheduled evaluation and management visit charge and the separate charge for the minor surgical procedure.
Only post the charge for the minor surgical procedure, as it was the more significant service provided.
