Hello,
We have a new physician assistant that joined our group. We are waiting on her credentialing to be finished up with several payers. If the supervising physician is on-site and incident-to requirements are met, and the supervising physician is in network and credentialed with a payer, then can we bill incident-to for the noncredentialed physician assistant? And still get reimbursed under the contract/credentialing of the in-network physician?
Example:
PA is not credentialed with BCBS. Physician has an in-network contract with BCBS. PA sees the BCBS patient in follow-up. We bill BCBS. Will BCBS reimburse as in-network or out-of-network?
For incident-to billing, does the physician sign the visit note or does the PA sign the visit note?
Thank you
