Wiki Billing for Locum Tenens

[cheriray5]

We are a family practice clinic with one provider and need to get a locums for coverage for 3 weeks later this year. Does anyone know if we can bill their services under our group NPI/TIN without notifying/adding them to each insurance company contract?

You would bill for the services provided by the LT under the physician they are covering for with Q6 modifier. https://www.aapc.com/blog/27489-bill-locum-tenens-according-to-cms-guidelines/
