Wiki 95992 - Audiologist & Incident To Question

[bonzaibex]

Can a Canalith procedure (95992) performed by an audiologist be billed as incident-to a physician's services if all incident-to guidelines are met?

if the audiologist is under the employment of the physician, If the physician previously examined the patient for the same diagnosis and documented a plan of care that included the procedure, and if the physician is in the same office suite area while the procedure is being performed, I say yes you can do that.

Thank you. That's what I think, too. Unless somebody else rains on my billing parade, I'm taking that answer and running with it.
