If a NEW patient is seen by a PA or NP in an outpatient setting and x-rays are performed at the office (facility owns the equipment), and the PA or NP completes the HPI, exam, plan of care, etc, but the physician reviews/ dictates the x-rays,
A) Can the x-rays be billed separately under the doctor?
If so...
B ) Can the x-ray dictation be in the same encounter note as the PA or NP or does it need to be in a completely separate document/report?
C ) What is the time limit on when the x-ray dictation must be documented? Same day? etc.
Thank you in advance.
