I recently was informed that the question to my doctor over messaging qualifies as “e-visit” and was giving 3 different CPT codes(differing by time physician would spend answering it) The CPT is how services are identified for medical billing and I called my hospitals financial assistance line to find the contractual “allowed amount” they would charge my insurance(and therefore me since I did not hit my deductible)

The cost for this e-visit message would range from $65 if it took less than 10 minutes to $438 if it took more than 25 minutes.

With absolute zero accountability on how this time was spent.

Lawyers are way more transparent than medical billers
