Wiki Physician Assistant Billing FXC

[bmcampbell]

Hi,
I have a situation where I need to find out if a physician assistant can bill for fracture care and manipulations in the office without a supervising MD present. We have a PA who works weekends at our Ortho clinic and is by himself and sees fractures but we will have him refer the patient to the MD and then the MD will bill out the fracture care. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Not clear on the coding guidelines for this.
Thank you! ​

What state are you in? Certain states have rules for PAs.

I am in the state of Connecticut. do you know any of the rules here? My PA's want to bill for closed reductions on their patients because they are initiating treatment I would only see this as fair to bill under them.

I'm in Florida and PA's/NP's can bill for a new problem under themselves here without being under direct supervision of the MD. Just remember they will only receive 85% of the allowable.
