We have a PA that is running the obesity counseling and Ideal Protein management for patients, but sometimes they come in and are only seen by a nurse. She does document everything just as our PA does, but it is only signed by our RN.

She spends time with the patient and documents it and bills a 9940x depending on that time spent.

My question is, can a RN bill this service or does she have to be seen by the NP, PA, or physician in order for it to be billed?

Thanks!
