Is this Fraud?

Published

I work in a Podiatry practice. They bill every visit on the physicians number. I do have an NPI number as does the other NP that works with me. We work independently, physician not on site, she works opposite days. So we are seeing new patients, follow ups everything and they only bill on the physician. I know about "incident to" billing and it seems like this practice is not following those rules

I have prescribing experience as I worked in internal medicine for years and I also have a psych job right now that I do 1 day a week and I prescribe there. I only do 1 day a week in Podiatry. It is not in my long term plans to be working as an NP in this capacity. I have an essential oil business and Teach alternative health classes. I plan to leave podiatry in about 2 months and just keep my psych job along with my essential oil business. I have a few companies I work with to help them utilize the oils in practice.

The other thing I guess in Podiatry I do prescribe as in I see the patient make the diagnosis and write the script for any meds but when the office transmits it to pharmacy it's under the docs name.
