Re: Charging for Telephone Calls

Such a fresh subject in our minds.

We approached one of our HMO's about this and they said NO WAY. We debated
on charging and have implemented some other "policies" in our office
regarding phone calls that we're going to try before we implement charges.
This is what we're planning on charging:

99371 (Phone call, level 1) $25.00 (See CPT description)
99372 (Phone call, level 2) $50.00
Forms Fee $3.00 (we charge this currently) for any camp, sports, daycare or
other forms that are not brought to the appointment with them.
$25.00 per medical record (we currently charge this) to patient
$45.00 per medical record to "other agencies"
$15.00 prescription refill because it was lost or medicine was lost
$14.00 per call for After Hours calls (this is what we're charged by our
nurse triage service, we anticipate charging $15.00 per call)
