IMPORTANT: How you bill split/shared and incident to services between your physician and Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) is MORE complicated than ever before.
Mastery of these complex split/shared and incident to billing rules will allow more of the services your NPPs provide to be paid at 100% of the physician rate (instead of just 85%). To get this 15% reimbursement boost, you must have a handle on key elements of billing split/shared and incident to services, such as calculating time spent, documenting supervision, and implementing the recently added definition of “substantive portion.”
Fortunately, coding and billing expert Kim Huey MJ, CHC, CPC, CCS-P, PCS, CPCO is here to help. During her upcoming 90-minute online training session on Wednesday, April 5th at 1:00 pm ET, Kim will provide you with step-by-step, plain English guidance so you can accurately code your split/shared and incident to services so that your APPs receive 100% of the physician rate every single time it is due.
Here are just a few of the time-tested split/shared and incident to services coding and billing strategies you’ll receive by attending this upcoming online training:
- Pin down split/shared “substantive portion” calculations (new 2023 rule)
- Evaluate which APP services qualify for incident-to vs. split/shared billing
- Boost pay by accurately calculating substantive services for APP split/shared visits
- Master incident-to supervision documentation rules to curb auditor scrutiny
- Properly append modifier FS to avoid denials and speed payments
- Uncover when and how to bill split/shared for in- and outpatient visits
- Master direct patient contact requirements for split/shared visits
- Collect for split/shared services at initial visits, not just established visits
- Bulletproof your split/shared claims against payer (and OIG) audits
- Correctly incorporate scope-of practice-perimeters to stop incident-to penalties
- Reveal which NPI (physician vs. APP) is accurate to head off raising auditor red flags
- Determine whether you can bill incident-to in locations besides your office
- And so much more…
Stop losing money when both your physician and APP care for the same patient. To do so, you must be able to definitively determine which rules govern these complicated coding systems (split/shared and incident to services). The only way to accomplish this is to successfully transition to the new 2023 shared services billing rules.
By attending this upcoming, expert-led online training, you can make sure that your APP services are reimbursed every penny they are ethically due. Don’t allow another shared services’ claim to be underpaid when the care provided clearly justifies reimbursement at 100% of the physician fee schedule (instead of just 85%).
In just 90 minutes, you’ll learn how to accurately bill both split/shared and incident to services by mastering the new 2023 coding/billing changes. Don’t wait. Sign up for this must-attend online training today.
