write-off deductibles?

XXX wrote: "Set your 920xx code at a higher fee than your S062x code and bill the same fee every time you use a particular code regardless of who is paying, and write off any difference not paid by a particular provider."
So what do you do if the patient has a deductible that is higher than what you charge for your s-code (I'm using s-code fee for self-pay patients)? E.g patient has a deductible of $100 but your regular exam fee for self-pay patients is $65? Can you write off part of the deductible and just charge the insurance patient $65?

Working Elsewhere...
Is there anybody here who is a corporate (employed) OD that wants to add a day or more hours to his work schedule working for a NON competitive organization? even for a different Wal-MArt location? I am an employed OD for Wal-Mart and have been stymied in my attempts to add more days or hours. Has anyone run into the same road block? Any advice? Thank you.

I got an e-mail with my ce credits for Nashville but seem to have misplaced the printouts (if I even printed them!) and apparently deleted the e-mails. Does anyone know where to request another copy? thank you!

contact lens coding fee - 92310
|
I have three contact lens fitting fees. Two different fees that are added to my EG exam fee, one for spherical fittings and the other for toric, RGP, bifocal/multifocal and monovision fittings. I have a third fitting fee for patients that come to our offic with an recent outside EG Rx that wish to just receive a contact lens fitting. So, I have one code(92310) and three different fees. Any advice?

should we provide a pd measurement
|
Does anyone know the New York law regarding providing the pd measurement? Our optician does not think we should write the pd on the Rx if the patient is not ordering glasses from us: i.e. on the internet. Any opinions on this?
