Hi All.....
I have read many posts in here regarding NP billing, and have ended up confused as ever.
We had one of our BCBS Provider Reps tell us that if the NP sees a patient we can bill under the supervising physician's number even though he is not physcially present in the facility, but is accessible via phone. This does not sound right to me and I can find nothing on Medicare's website to back this up. (We are asking her to give us something in writing)
I do not beleive this falls under "Incident To" guidelines, as my understanding is that the Physician must be present within the facility.
Has anyone out there any information on billing under a supervising physician's number if accessible by electronic means....if you could direct me to written words, this would be wonderful.
Thanks everyone....
