I have an FNP that has been seeing the same patients in assisted living for seven years. She has accepted a new job and will be seeing the same patients but new a new NPI/tax id. Would the patients be considered establish since it is the same provider or new patient since it is a new group? (It still matters to me because I have followed her to her new job entering her charges.)
 
Per CPT, the patient would be considered established. "An established patient is one who has received professional services from the physician/qualified health care professional or another physician/qualified health care professional of the exact same specialty and subspecialty who belongs to the same group practice, within the past three years."
