We have a new NP that is not yet credentialed with all payers (only MCR and MCD). The physician wants to bill everything under his NPI. Not all of the encounters meet incident to requirements, some are new patient visits or new chief complaints. Also, not all payers go by MCR guidelines on incident to billing.
Is there any LEGAL way to bill under the doctor’s NPI until the credentialing comes through for the NP? I’ve searched exhaustively and I can’t find any clear answer.
Can these charges be billed with SA modifier?

Please help!
