P.T. billing/coding questions for a Physical Rehab Clinic--
Can a doctor/NP can bill for PT codes (97001-97002)?
I do know they can bill for Physical Medicine and Rehab codes if it is within the scope of their license.
Would it make sense for a doctor to see the patient and code an E/M office visit along with a PT eval of 97001?
Also in reading the LCD-L28531 it states for CPT code 97001--evaluations are performed and billed by license physical therapists so I am confused about the doctor/NP coding for these services--is it allowed or must a PT perform the initial consult?
I am new to PT billing/coding so it could make perfect sense that I am misunderstanding the whole PT thing.
