Did you know “OV EST PT LEV 3” means “office visit that requires 2 of the following: expanded problem or focused history, expanded problem or focused examination, straightforward medical decision making, problems that are low to moderate severity and average of 15 minutes of face to face time between patient/family and MD.”
I asked customer service for a bill that an average person with a PhD can understand.
