I have a question for any incident to experts. We are billing the therapists incident to our nurse practitioner who has seen the patient, created a treatment plan and routinely sees the patient for med management. This nurse practitioner is leaving the practice. Am I correct that we can bill under another nurse practitioner just as we would bill under a covering doctor if it was a doctor who established the treatment plan. It's been suggested that we can bill under the doctor because he signs off on the treatment plans but I don't think that is correct. What about billing under a PA in the office as the supervising if a nurse practitioner established the treatment plan? Thoughts?
 
licensed therapist should not be billing under any other licensed provider. this would NOT be considered incident to. therapy is a separate services and should be billed under therapist with therapy codes.
