I bill for a geriatrician that has "heard" of a physician that performs the initial E&M on a newly admitted patient and then has PA's/NP's that are employed by the physician (not the SNF) that go to the SNF every single day to see patients. 1) it has been our understanding a "billing provider" can bill for one visit per month. 2) we can't comprehend the medical necessity of seeing these patients/rehab patients every single day. My provider is not looking to recreate this in his practice, but wants to know if he clinically needs to see the patient for an issue he can bill for it and get paid vs. a freebie.

Does anyone have any information to support or deny this is an acceptable practice with Medicare?

Thanks,
Hunter Smith, CPC
