Question: Is there a specific code for seeing patients as an unscheduled work-in during or after-hours?

Answer: Below are the services you can bill, in addition to the appropriate level of exam. You should not bill these to Medicare Part B patients. Not every commercial payer will have an allowable for these codes. Patients may be responsible for payment.
