I usually only do physician hospital and ASC claims so I'm not completely educated on in-office E/M and incident to guidelines.
My questions is this: The practice I work for owns an ASC that is directly attached to our physician offices. I mean attached by an unlocked, two way door between the two areas on the same floor of the same building. Does this qualify as the doctor being in the office suite as long as they are immediately available for assistance if a NPP is doing the work in the office suite? As I said the practice owns the ASC, not sure if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Fred
