office consults - non physician

We have a Physician Assistant in our office. Can that PA see new patients?

Thank you, Mary

Pa

Medicare allows PAs to see new patients if allowed by State Law Scope of Practice, and if they bill under their own provider number. There is no "incident-to" for new patients.

PA and new patients

Read the article entitled "Incident to services for Medicare Patients" for some info on this. Put that title into the search box.
