Wiki NP Subsequent Hosp Visits? and Discharge?

[Kimberly.Peery]

INPATIENT setting
NP Is part of our private practice (NOT a Hosp NP) (Our MD has privileges at hosp not employed by them)
I know she can see PT as consults at hospital. However, I once was told that I cannot bill for subsequent visits.
I am looking for info input or documentation-
-Our NP sees patient on Subsequent visits in the hospital, can she get paid for this? ...if only she sees the PT?
I bill for Illinois and Missouri. Please advise, thanks, Kimber

Yes, a mid-level provider (NP or PA) may bill for subsequent hospital care - I have never heard anything to the contrary.
