Nurse Practitioner Specialty Designation

We are providers of palliative care services, which is specialty code 17. Can our nurse practitioners bill under this specialty code? Thank you.

re: Nurse Practitioner Specialty Designation

NPs can bill for any services within their state scope of practice.

Enroll your NP with Medicare. NPs and PAs are not enrolled with Medicare under a specific specialty.

Check with your private payers about how they want you to enroll your NPs (if they do).
