Received the following question from a physician and would like your input as the Florida law is not specific to PA Locum tenant. Thx
Can an MD doing a locum bill under the my PA's credentials. For example:
A locum bills under my name. On the billing form, there is actual provider and billing provider.
When Dr Sanchez works as a locum, she is the actual and the billing provider is me.
She can only do that if I DO NOT see patients on the same day.
I want my locum physician to be the actual provider, but the billing provider would be my PA.
In other words, I am working, the PA is on vacation, and the physician covers for the PA.
