PA NP BILLING

By Carole Weber posted 10-22-2009 11:32

  


I have a question regarding NP/PA billing.  We have several insurance companies that do not accept nor recognize NP/PA Billing.  We have had two different answers how to code this.  One answer - cannot be coded at all, write off and the other is if the insurance does not accept NP/PA billing, then bill under the supervising doc as long as there is a note on the chart.  Does anyone have any written guidelines or websites that we can be directed to?   Thank you in advance.

Our PA guidelines are under the state medical association guidelines. That should tell you what is legal. We bill every claim under our doctor since he is the supervising physician. However, for the first 6 months (or whatever your guidelines are) the supervising physician signed off on all the PA's charts. After that, he periodically reviews and signs off on the PA's charts.
