Ok all you fellow coders out there. I'm begging for help on this matter. I know for a fact that my NP can't see a pt and charge this code. Even though my Radiation Oncologist does 3 of the 4 elements to this code. I have referenced my CPT manual, ASTRO guidelines, CSI guidelines, and have gone to 2 seminars where the presenters both stated no can do. The provider is the one who needs to being doing this visit. My Radiation Oncologist even went to a seminar this past Feb. and was told the same thing, he however insisits on letting this continue. He now is asking that we not bill for that visit until he signs off on what the NP did, which still is wrong. I am now to the point where I want no part of even coding out the visit for fear of losing my CPC and ROCC certifications. I have tried calling the Insurance Commisoners and they tell me they know nothing about the codes. Who else out there can I goto for help?
