Hello, I work for a house calls company here in the valley and we have medical assistants who go out to patient homes to draw labs ordered by our NPs. My coder states that we cannot bill a 99211 "incident to" because the provider needs to be readily available should a problem arise. In these situations our providers are elsewhere, the MAs are by themselves but have the providers available on the phone (video and audio) if needed. Is my coder correct or am I able to bill for these Ma (Nurse) visits? Please advise.
