A 60-minute LIVE audioconference at 12 p.m. (Eastern) on
Thursday, August 10, 2006
Use of physician extenders—nurse practitioners, physicians assistants, etc.—
can significantly improve your practice's efficiency. However, billing
incorrectly for them can cost your practice significant dollars and make you the
target of audits from the OIG.
Join us on August 10, for the 60-minute audioconference, _Strategies to
Appropriately Bill for Physician Extenders_
(http://www.hcmarketplace.com/Prod-4275-EZ47774A.html) . Our experts will give you the information you need to bill
properly and increase efficiency in your facility.
At the end of this audioconference, participants will be able to:
1. Identify what services physician assistants (PA) and nurse
practitioners (NP) can and cannot provide in the practice setting.
2. Explain how some commercial payers reimburse for physician extenders.
3. Describe tri-care insurance and how to bill under it.
4. Define incident-to billing.
5. Distinguish between the roles of facility-employed vs.
practice-employed extenders.
