If a RN does a 99211 (which she can not bill, but can do) can I bill 99214 for the MD by incorporating her 99211, under his supervision, in the 99214 physician's billing? I am aware of the Medicare "incident to" requirements, but is this ok to do with other insurance carriers?
re: coding
I'm not sure why you're saying that an RN cannot 'do' a 99211 contact? from my understanding that IS the one E&M code that nursing staff CAN use, . . just that the service will not be reimbursed if it is performed on the same day/DOS as the prescriber visit? Is that what you are referencing? and therefore why you might choose to add in the information to assist with the complexity required to 'bump' the prescriber's contact to a 99214 level contact?
