I know the very initial visit, the MD needs to see the new patient to establish the 'plan of care' then as long as incident to guidelines are met, etc. then the PA or APN can see the patient.
BUT, if that patient really needs to get in and be seen or just for whatever reason and the Dr is not in the office and the NPP sees the patient, I know it has to be billed under their NPI, but
my question is if the Dr is available to see the patient on the next visit or three visits later.....can we bill under the MD that day and also the subsequent visits after? Or will it forever have to billed
under the NPP?
