Patient was seen by Dr. Name on 1/21/10 and a plan of care was established for back and neck pain.
Patient returned on 2.15.10, for follow-up of back and neck pain and was seen by NPP.
NPP discontinued medication started by Dr. Name for back and neck pain.
NPP added new medication (Gabapentin and Tramadol) for back and neck pain.
Could this still be billed as incident-to since the NPP changed the plan of care?
No new problems were presented by the patient or addressed by the NPP.
NPP discussed med changes with Dr.
Please give reason for or against incident-to. Thanks.
