In a small ortho practice, the PA acts as an assistant surgeon during procedures. The primary surgeon shares the same tax ID# with the PA.
Are the PA's services separtely billable to Medicare and/or commercial payers? If so, would modifier-80 or -81 be applicable, or perhaps modifier-62?
The only guidance that I've been able to find is CMS CR5221, which indicates that payment for the PA must be made to the employer.
I appreciate any help you can offer!!
Thanks!
