I know I have asked this question before but I am still not positive about it. If one of our providers sees a patient in the office (our practice also sees dialysis patients and charges for MCP visits) can this provider (billing everything under the same tax ID number as the MCP charges are billed) charge for the office visit if it is any way related to an access evaluation. We have providers that are doing this and charging the office visit. I am saying this is included in MCP charges because it is related to dialysis. My understanding if it is in any way related to dialysis that it cannot be charged. I have printed the list from CMS that shows what is included in MCP but cannot make it clear to providers that even though they are accessing for infection or non-functioning dialysis access that this is part of MCP. Am I correct in saying this?
