We had a new Medicare patient scheduled to see a physician, however he was in surgery longer than expected and the patient saw a Nurse Practitioner. I was wondering, is this billable to Medicare? I have seen some websites say yes and others say no. I've also saw some sties that said no and then later on talked about a NP seeing a new Medicare patient and billing it out under NP and not Physician for incident to, so I'm very confused now. What makes it even more confusing to me is that the physician was doing the surgery in the hospital, however the office is in the same building as the hospital. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!
