I work for an urgent care and we have only nurse practitioners at our facility. We bring in locum tenens that are MD's. How do we bill that and do we use the Q6 modifier? Everything I have read tells me we cant use the Q6 modifier because its only for physician to physician and not physician to nurse practitioner. Additionally, I have read we should use the absent NP npi # but then Medicare is stating we should use the locum tenens NPI. However, we cant credential locum tenens since they are 1099. Please advise
