Oh yea just call and talk to someone its easy and its not like you are going to be put through the ringer talking to 10 different people over several weeks inexplicably over several continents.
I've not found that to be an issue with smaller practices. Most of the times small practices just have one person other than the doctor who deals with billing. Sure they often outsource past that but if you can get either the doc or that person, they'll often just change the codes because even if they can technically bill you, it's probably not worth the time or effort for them.
But yeah at big practices good luck. They are a living nightmare to deal with and I feel for anyone who can't get access to a smaller (ideally solo) practice.
