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.
