Tamoxifen And Well Woman Dr Visit

I want to ask women on Tamoxifen, will your visit to OB-GYN be considered preventive care, or will any part of it be billed as diagnostic? Can anyone share your experience?

Hi I don’t have any experience with this specifically, but I suspect it would be all in how your doctor chooses to code it.

During that visit maybe you could ask if it would change the billing codes for you to ask them about a specific medication.

Most doctors don’t want to cause financial problems for their patients but they also stay out of the billing aspect as much as possible, so they may not be aware that by adding different codes it could cause you a problem.

But if you mention that it’s a concern I suspect your doctor will work with you to make sure you get taken care of without having extra bills that don’t have to be generated by a simple question.

I have Medicare and I talked to my gynecologist about Luperon During my visit and there was no coding that indicated it was anything other than the well visit, so I suspect that you wouldn’t have an issue even if you didn’t specifically voice your concerns with the Billing. But I can’t be sure
