The Incident has been around for many years whereas shared care is a more recent CMS billing opportunity. Many physician offices are confused as to the correct way to bill these types of services and how they differ. Recent CMS changes to their shared care policy have added to the confusion. Billing incorrectly leads physician offices to the risk of audits, paybacks, and fines. This Webinar will explain the differences and help physician billers correctly reporting both types of services.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define  “incident to” services and correct use
  • Define shared care services and correct use
  • Correctly report the applicable place of service codes for both services

  • Review changes to supervision of incidents to services when the public health emergency (PHE) ends
