Exactly. NPs will still charge for the same reimbursement as MDs.
I didn't think about this aspect of this whole situation. Right now we can bill "incident-to," if the MD is in the building and get full reimbursement at the MD rate. But if we are seen as "independent" (if the bill passes), I'm sure MCARE will be adamant about only reimbursing at 85% the MD rate because we won't need "supervision." That's a very interesting situation I haven't considered to this point. BTW, it should be only 85% the MD rate if this bill passes, because we aren't physicians.

Thanks for the information. Didn't realize the reimbursement could be lower.

Out of curiosity, how do you think a NPs pay would increase if they didn’t have oversight of a MD? Does the MD take a cut of collections? I don’t know how these arrangements work
