Now this sounds idiotic but one of my friends fathers who does Outpatient Primary Care as an Internist
he insists that although there is huge overlap between what he does in his practice versus what an FP would do in the outpatient setting
that let's say he bills for evaluating a HTN pt (i think the reimbursement is $50) that he get's the $50, but an FP who would do the EXACT same thing would get less than $50
this sounds really silly and not plausible
but he says this with such certainty as he knows the sky is blue and grass is green
the other issue is, and this has been reverberated on this board, not too many people know how to bill or anything about billing
