Wiki Incident to E/M billing in a provider based clinic

[alincoln]

I'm looking for information specific to whether NPPs can perform incident to E/M services in provider based clinics? I have found lots of information on therapeutic incident to services, but I am struggling to find information specific to E/M... any help would be MUCH appreciated!

Here are a couple items that might help. http://news.aapc.com/index.php/2012/09/when-and-when-not-to-follow-incident-to-guidelines/ and http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Guidance/Manuals/downloads/bp102c15.pdf (look under "60.1 - Incident To Physician’s Professional Services")
