Wiki Locum Tenens

[lillianbarker]

Any coding advise for billing locum tenens when the group is not owned by the physician but by the hospital? My understandiing for billing is when the pysician has paid for the locum tenens. What happens when the group is getting the locum tenens for a doc who is on vacation, ect.
