If a hosptial encounter is shared between a physician and a NPP and the physician provides any face-to-face substantive portion of the E/M encounter with the patient, both the NPP and physician should each document what each personally performed. The total documentation by both the NPP and the physician should support the level of service reported.

There isn't a certain amount of time required, per se. If the NPP and the physician adequatley documents their time involved (face to face), you can report the visit under the MD.
