What type of supervision requirements are needed to bill for PA/NP services as “incident to” under the physicians number?
The patient must be “established,” and have been seen previously by a physician in the physician group. Medicare requires the billing physician to be physically present in the clinic. Because the rules of commercial payors vary, generally in order to bill a PA/NP service in the name of the physician, the physician must be in the clinic. If the patient is covered by Medicaid, the physician may be on the premises of the Health Center complex, and must sign the chart..
