Apparently there were a lot of denials around 2013-2014 for not split billing the xrays for NPs.
From what I have read, NPs are not allowed to supervise the technical component and therefore cannot bill the technical component. How do you code the xrays for NPs?
If you split bill them between the NP for the professional component and the MD for the technical component, does it require a separate read or a signature on the NPs dictation for the supervising physician? I am just recently learning about this guideline and being told that they should be billed separately but there are no denials involved for anyone to have known this was an issue?
Can anyone help?
