Same Day Encounters
January 2026
The CHC may bill for a visit, a treatment, or a procedure, but may not bill for more than one of these services provided to the same member on the same date when the services are performed in the same location. This limitation does not apply to tobacco cessation counseling services provided by a physician or other qualified staff member under the supervision of a physician on the same day as a visit. See regulations for additional instructions for specific types of services (such as obstetrics, acupuncture, audiology, etc.)
