On January 31st, InK reported Aetna was changing it’s policy on billing for Non-Physician Providers (NPP). As of February 10th Aetna has changed their stand. Please Read!
Aetna’s Feb. 10 reversal preserves NPPs’ ability to fully bill under a supervising physician’s name and National Provider Identifier (NPI) for services “incidental to” the physician’s diagnosis and treatment of an injury or illness. Services billed incident-to must be conducted in the same office suite where the physician is present and available to intervene if needed.
