It does not matter what State you live in, billing Medicare is the same all over the US.

I live in NJ, my PCP bills by minutes like Geaton posted. I would call and talk to the doctors billing office and ask your question. For house calls the doctor maybe able to bill for an hour. You are going to pay more for that service. In the longrun, though, Medicare is only going to pay what they think is reasonable and then pay 80% of that. Hopefully, the supplemental will pay the 20% Medicare does not pay.

Dr bills $200, Medicare will only cover $160, 80% 128, balance hopefully supplemental picks up $32.

So in the state of NJ and PA (I have worked in both states) the billing takes into account the time the dr or np reviews the chart, distance, how long the dr or np was at the house and if the dr or np prescribe a medication or labwork. We used Enoble Care for my dad. It was not the best or the worst. My dad went thru 5 drs/np in just 1 years. So, we felt like there was no continuity of care.

That might include travel charges, but you won't know unless you ask. Do you feel like your dad is not getting adequate care from the visiting doctors?

Who knows? Call Medicare and ask this question.
