You can be paid more for your non-physician practitioner (NPP) claims, without the worry of getting audited, being hit with payer recoupments, or having to pay massive violation penalties. What’s the catch?
You must comply with complex and confusing supervision and incident to billing guidelines for your NPP services’ claims. But when you consider that you can get paid 15% more for your NPP services, it is well worth it.
There are numerous accounts of practices, just like yours, having to pay massive penalties for failing to comply with supervision and incident to billing guidelines. Just two examples include a TN primary care practice that paid $341,690 and a NJ urology practice that paid $266,882.13. The US Attorney’s Office has made it clear that it will not tolerate noncompliance in this area. But you shouldn’t let this stop you from getting paid every penny you’re due for your NPP services.
