Best Answer

If you mean could a doctor charge a patient for an office visit if the doctor was to perform a surgery on the same patient later, the answer is "Yes".

Doctors bill for the procedures they perform on each patient. In a single office visit, you may be billed for more than one procedures. For example, this wiki answer entry shows possible billed items if you go in for ingrown toe nail(s) Cpt_code_for_nail_removal.

In small number of cases, the doctor may offer a self-pay or cash price for the entire visit, without counting the individual procedures that he/she has to perform. If you have a high deductible health plan or are uninsured, it is worth asking if you could get such a price before you start your doctor visit.
