Wiki Billing Providers

[SHobbs]

For our mid level practitioners we bill under their supervising physician for the commercial insurances that do not credential NPs. There is now a question if the Doctors have to sign off on the notes that are billed under their name? Can anyone help with this?

Signature Needed or Not

I would say yes to your question. The 1995 and 1997 Documentation Guidelines are the same and are not based on payer reimbursement. The Documentation Guidelines are to be followed regardless of which payer you are going to bill and how you are going to handle your submissions.
