Can we please abolish same day-only billing

I'm an oncologist who sees 18-20 fairly complex cases per day, 4-5 days a week. I see anywhere from 4-6 new patients with the rest follow-ups. It takes a LOT of time to prepare for the visits, come up with treatment plans and then make a detailed summary in my documentation after each visit. The fact that I have to do all of my documentation and chart review the same day in order to bill for it has been infuriating me to no end. Sure, I can chart review the night before and finish my notes the following day, but I cannot legally bill for that time. However, if I chart review at 12:01am and finish my notes by 11:59pm of the same day, it's fair game. That is ridiculous and this should change.

A lawyer, for instance, bills me for every word they read from me in an email, regardless of when they decide to read that email. We should be able to bill for our time working regardless of when we spent that time working.

Edit: I know about billing by complexity, and I do it when it’s appropriate. It doesn’t excuse the fact that billing for time only on the same day of service is wrong.
