When entering co-pay for a patient is should be applied to the office visit code Explain why?
Co-pay should be applied to the office visit code because it is a payment made by the patient towards the cost of the office visit. This is typically a set amount that is determined by the patient's insurance plan, and it is usually paid at the time of service. By applying the co-pay to the office visit code, it is easier to track and manage the patient's payments and to ensure that the patient is meeting their financial obligations for the office visit.
