Hello,
I need some help with what is defined as a "clinical nurse specialist". I am in Washington state and keep getting denials from Regence saying that our surgery assistants are not qualified to bill for a surgery assist. They are nurses, but do not have any sort of special surgical assist certifications.
Medicare recognizes physician assistants, nurse pratitioners, and clinical nurse specialists as NPPs with independent billing rights.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
Thank you!
