Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unbundling services when an available single code includes all services is both illegal and unethical. This is considered fraud as the provider is charging for services that are not separately billable. Additionally, it violates professional ethical standards as it goes against the provider's obligation to act in the best interest of their patients.
