I work in a multi-disciplinary clinic with (2) chiropractors, (1) orthopedic physician, (2) physical therapists and (1) Nurse practitioner.
I believe I know the answer to the question; however, the provider that I'm debating this with has been told that chiropractors can bill E/M codes as long as they use their NPI/TID and not the group numbers when billing.
A new patient presents to the office for a problem - Nurse practitioner bills 99203. Same day- within the same clinic (different Tax ID, different NPI) patient presents an issue to the chiropractor. Can the chiropractor bill a new patient e/m code 99203 or 99201 as well?
Thank you,
Sheri
