Wiki facility fee at FQHC?

[LauraNewYork]

Hello,
I am a relatively new biller/coder. Does anyone know if a FQHC is allowed to charge a technical component (AKA facility fee) like hospitals do? I did not find this questions answered in previous posts. I am located in New York State. If it is possible what revenue code is used?

Laura,

X-ray, EKG, PFT are split billed per Medicare Guidelines in FQHC world. If a patient comes into your office for a visit and you perform a chest x-ray the technical part of the x-ray is billed to the local Part B and the professional part is rolled into the G code for the FQHC visit.

Hope this helps. You can find a FQHC billing Manual under Medicare.

hi!
Would these technical services done by the FQHC be billed out on a professional claim under the rendering provider's NPI?

The split out to Medicare Part B services go on a HCFA 1500. Yes to the rendering provider NPI.
