On the coding side to insure you get max revenue...
Don't forget code 99051.
I use this for any appointment at or after 5 pm. All insurance wont pay, but Aetna does, and I noticed a payment on a BCBS one yesterday.
99051 is an add-on code for "regularly scheduled, after-hours appointments." That is, if you have regularly scheduled late or weekend appointmetns, you charge this for those appointments.
There is another code for "non-regularly scheduled, after-hours appts." like when you stop at say, 5pm, but someone calls saying they are just so sick and you agree to wait and see them at 5:45.
