I am currently in the end stages of the interview process to become the lead medical biller at a smaller private practice. I have a friend who works there who mentioned last night I would need to be comfortable billing non-credentialed providers under the credentialed providers. She stated the credentialed providers will step into the office visit for a moment and that makes it legal to bill as listed above. I am HIGHLY unsure of the legality of this and do not want to start my career as a medical biller performing unethical practices that might be considered fraud. I understand each payer is different and it could depend on the individual contract. Can someone help make this more clear for me.

Thanks in advance!
