This one hour presentation is for clinicians, managers and coding and billing staff, and is presented in person or by audio feed.
Description:
Incident-to services appear on the OIG Work Plan year after year. The stakes are high for the practice in terms of revenue and compliance.

This audio will provide definitive answers about billing for Non-Physician Practitioners incident-to or as shared services.
