There is a new discussion in my office regarding incident to guidelines. Some are saying that in the guidelines "patient" is referring to any patient that is established with a practice. Some are saying "patient" refers to any person walking through the door for medical care in your office/facility - whether they are one-time only (visiting from out of town) or been seen there for 20 years. I know the Medicare incident to guidelines, but am looking for something more specific that I can present to others about what constitutes a "patient" for incident to purposes.
Help please!
Thank you!
