Hi All...
I have read where "Incident To" billing can not be used in a hospital for either IP or OP services. What if, per contractual agreement, we are running a clinic out of a hospital owned facility....not located in the main facility. We are not "renting" the space, per se'...but are under contractual obligation to provide a certain number of Physician and Physician Extender hours.....
The article I am reading states that the only exception to OP services would be if the Physician would be renting space from the hospital...we are not actually renting - no monetary compensation is exchanged for our services. We bill for the professional component and have been using POS 22...
Can we use "Incident To" in the form of a CNP with a supervising Physician in the suite? I hope so as we just hired a new CNP (not yet credentialed) to help in this facility.....
Thanks for any and all comments...
