The $20,000 Bruise

The $20,000 bruise even out inwards the Wall Street Journal makes goodness reading. All of these wellness attention disasters brand goodness reading.
 I permit the billing supervisor speak for a moment, too and thus cutting him off using the ammo I had acquired from billing-coders' blogs. "You billed a G0390 for trauma-team activation.

There was no such activation here. So hither is what I take away y'all to do: Remove that $10,000 accuse too reissue the bill."
