Billing for Shared Visits: What Group Practices Need to Know
In healthcare group practices, it is common for both physicians and non-physician practitioners (NPPs) to be involved in patient care, especially within facility settings such as hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. Though these shared visits bring many benefits to holistic care delivery, they create difficulties regarding correct and compliant billing processes. In fact, the rising role of NPPs in patient care requires healthcare practices to learn proper shared visit billing procedures to receive appropriate reimbursement while avoiding audits.
