  • Title: Coding and billing for radiology physician extenders.
    Author: Mulaik MW.
    Journal: Radiol Manage; 2008; 30(6):48-52. PubMed ID: 19115712.
    Abstract:
    Correct coding and billing for services provided by physician extenders can be challenging and complex and it is critical that organizations perform these functions correctly to ensure compliance. Incident-to is the only provision that allows physicians to charge and be paid for services that they did not directly perform. It is important that individuals responsible for charge capture understand how incident-to may or may not apply in their organization. What extenders are allowed to do in their scope of service may not coincide with what is allowed from a billing perspective.
