Comply With Incident-To Billing

Conference Material (Password Required)

Incident-to billing is one of the most common mistakes a group practice can make. Physicians are able to bill certain services as “incident-to” the physician’s services, resulting in reimbursement at 100% of the Medicare physician fee schedule for nonphysician provider services. This presentation will go through the ins and outs of compliant, incident-to billing, and documentation requirements. This presentation will also review common misunderstandings and billing mistakes using real-world examples.
