Question: For a walk-in/urgent care clinic, the rendering provider is a PA and there is a physician on site that is the supervising physician. The claim is billed out under PA rendering and Doc supervising. The supervising doc does electronically sign the note, but the supervising doc is not involved with the care and the supervising doc does not see the patient face to face. Is this non-incident to, or incident to? What about if the supervising doc does go into the room to evaluate the patient further upon the PA's request? Thank you! (How it is currently being billed, is under the supervising physician, but if I'm understanding it correctly, when the supervising doctor is not involved with the care, it should be the PA independently?)
