Our Billing and Practice managers want us to charge the assist on ALL surgeries, even if an assistant isn't allowed. I told the billing manager that I think we're going to get flagged for an audit if we charge an assist on procedures that we know don't allow it. I explained that knowingly charging something incorrectly is fraud....I never got a response.
They want to "capture" all the surgeries that our PAs assist on. (Won't the schedule do that, you ask?? Apparently not.)
Any and all opinions/suggestions/warnings are appreciated.
Thank you!
UPDATE: It looks like we're going to bill them out at zero fee. Thanks to everyone for your input!!
