My provider just asked me a couple questions that I could not answer.
NP seeing patient incident to a physicians plan of care. Is there a requirement that the physician needs to see the patient after a certain period of time and if so, how often?
Dr. A has established a plan of care, but is out of the office for the day. NP is seeing Dr. A's established patient in followup to his plan of care. Dr. B is supervising the NP on this date. Can this visit be billed as incident to under Dr. B since they are in the same group practice?
