The situation is that there is a substance abuse facility that performs the three hour intensive outpatient treatment service that is billed under one code H0015. The three hour segments of the service are performed by three different therapists. They are all therapists, no one is an MD. There is no Incident To situation going on. There is no supervising therapist. The MD oversees ongoing care generally, with regular visits but is not present at the time of these services.
How is the billing provider determined?
My knee jerk reaction is to draw straws and pick someone of the three to bill under, and after spending many hours now reading on this, I still don’t have a better answer. Anyone have direction to an official answer on this, please let me know.
