Anyone know anything about medical coding and billing? Esp at Winter Park Hosp? The doctor is trying to bill me for level 4 evaluation, on a scale of 1-5 5 is highest threat to my life. I was checked in with like a stage 2-3 hypertension as a walk in, they made me sit around almost an hour before they administered any medication and even the hospital only billed me at a stage 3 which still seems high, The doctors office says they bill based on what hospital coded, hospital says the evaluation level comes form the doctor....and I cant find a hard definition of the levels online anywhere. It's also crappy that the hospital wrote it off for me as a charity, but the doctor will not match from this hospital

I should have been a level 2, level 3 at best, and their rates are significantly higher then they should be
