So if you show up at the doctors office for a yearly exam and die during your exam how does he code it? ;-)

“... die during your exam how does he code it?”

The same way...as the freebie annual exam. You read the article...the doctor can’t even call 911 to get you transported to the hospital emergency room.

The body has to be wheeled back out to the doc’s waiting room, and then has to wait for the next available “walk-in” appointment that afternoon.

“Mr. Smith? The doctor will see you now.”

“Mr.Smith? Mr. Smith?”

Depends on a number of factors. For example if you are over 65 and/or vote Republican then the code would be "MA" Mission Accomplished"...
