I am billing for a physician and nurse practitioner in an OB office. When the NP is the one to see the patient, what is the correct why to indicate this one the claim form? I believe some of these claims should be billed as NP for billing AND rendering and some claims as NP rendering but physician as billing, depending on the particular instance. I have been told I should bill everything under the physician (both rendering and billing) because the NP is not credentialed with our Medicaid plans. This does not seem right to me as the doctor is not the rendering. What is the correct way to bill these services?
