Well, the guru always said....... if you don't get 6 hours sleep then you cannot bill for a complete study, you must use a 'reduced service' modifier to your code but you can still bill but collect less of the meager check anyway. But... these days it might be better to check http://www.hcfa.gov/ for the latest and greatest since things be changin' lately. Also, if memory serves you do have to have at least a couple hours of 'scored' sleep in order to bill at all. ?? Can anyone back me up or correct this?? (After you all get back from the conference I didn't get to go to....) lol!
