That is why I specified for routine or preventative procedures, where everything is known beforehand.

I also do not buy that doctors do not know which code will be used. I don’t care if the doctor themself does not know, surely someone that works with them knows and can provide it.

It should be dead simple to go to a doctor’s website and find the codes for routine procedure that they will bill. If something in the visit happens outside of that, the doctor can feel free to say that is outside of the scope of the visit, just like a mechanic can tell me he will not fix the transmission if I am in for a brake job.
