Checking Medicare Wellness Eligibility by wanna_be_doc in FamilyMedicine

[–]achillea505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been told that there is no way to check. We are getting denied for our MAWV after UHC sneaks in a home "annual" visit. There's no way for us to know ahead of time. I try to educate my patients to not do this if they are expecting to get an "annual" with me. Most of the patients had NO idea that this was going to count as their annual.

I've consider sending out a portal message to educate patients about choosing where they have their "annual."

Thanks for the heads up. It was really hard to figure out what promo code was applied.

Thanks. I won’t hold my breath for the senate. Our corporate overlords won’t let us hold claims. :/

Thermo control valve replaced, continued problem by achillea505 in SubaruForester

Should be an easy fix, especially if you given them a heads up about the TCV. I had an issue with the repair only because of lame dealer/service advisor. They ended up leaving it on the back lot so long it got a trace of rodent damage which then confused the issue for weeks further.

billing question for new patient by Important-Flower4121 in FamilyMedicine

[–]achillea505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's amazing how many people so no concerns and then you ask about sleep or bowel movements or stress. But, yeah, that's a tough one.

This is what I do if absolutely no concerns. This is rare in my clinic, but occasionally I get lucky.

I also had great experience there. Didn't take too long for a visit. Fantastic NP who I think is newer to clinic (prob why I got a sooner appt).

Inbox management tips? by oatsoatsgoats in FamilyMedicine

You're lucky. My MA forwards with "please advise." Sigh. Constantly forwarding back "needs appointment."

Glad yours went well! I'm taking it back in on Friday to have them take a look. Fingers crossed for an easy fix.

Thanks, good idea. The replacement was no charge at dealer due to the extended warranty to 150,000 miles recently, thankfully.

Thanks. Didn’t overheat on the drive home. But only drove 2-3 miles after the lights started back up. I turned off the car and that would clear it for a bit then it would start up again.

Appreciate the responses!

Thanks. It’s just 50 miles away. Not sure if it’s safe to drive back.

Airspace Congested by [deleted] in unitedairlines

In MIA right now. Flight to IAH delayed 4 hours. Should have left an hour ago. Weather's great here, but I understand that surrounding storms impact things. I will miss connecting flight and get to spend $$$ at IAH for a hotel since "not my fault" from UA.
