I work for a multi-provider, multi-office pain management clinic. All the physicians are either board certified pain management or board certified anesthesiologists, or both. The practice owner wants to consider adding a licensed clinical social worker to the staff.
My biggest questions are:
1. Would this person be credentialed and billed using their own name, or would they be billed using the "incident-to" method?
2. If "incident-to" is used, would my doctors qualify to be supervising physicians even though none are mental health providers?
3. Does anyone here foresee any other problems to this arrangement that I haven't addressed?
Thanks in advance for all your help!
