If you're referring to "incident to" in the office setting.........
To qualify as “incident to,” services must be part of your patient’s normal course of treatment, during which a physician personally performed an initial service and remains actively involved in the course of treatment. You do not have to be physically present in the patient’s treatment room while these services are provided, but you must provide direct supervision, that is, you must be present in the office suite to render assistance, if necessary. The patient record should document the essential requirements for incident to service.
If the NPP meets the qualifications to treat patients within his/her state and the above requirements are met, you would submit the claim under the physicians name and NPI #.
