This sounds a little more of a legal question than a coding question. I do not have expertise in this area.
If you are splitting the bill for legal or tax reasons, your physician bill would go -26 and facility with -TC. You definitely would not send both bills for both professional and technical.
I would first question as to why the provider is even wanting this. Sometimes, the provider THINKS he/she gets more money billing separately, but you do not. You get the same payment to the penny, with additional work.
For example, 76700 here's the Medicare payment for my area
Medicare Fees | | | | | |
---|
| National | Adjusted | 26 | TC | 53 |
Facility | $124.57 | $149.92 | $45.71 | $104.21 | $0.00 |
Non Facility | $124.57 | $149.92 | $45.71 | $104.21 | $0.00 |
I would get the same $149.92 whether 1 bill and 1 check, or whether 2 bills and 2 checks (1 to physician for $45.71 and 1 to facility for $104.21).
Sometimes there are legal, liability, or financial reasons this is done, but you should ask a lawyer or accountant those questions.
Hope I shed at least a little more light on this for you.
