    Question re APP billing

    It depends on how they are credentialed. Generally in our institution they are licensed NPs and PAs. As such you can't have their procedures billed under the collaborating physician. Either you don't...

    Bonus based on RVU. How do I earn the practice $ with only 85% reimbursement for RVUs?

    core0 replied to ilovensg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Three issues: 1. The RVU bonus should be based on the RVUs you earn. The deduction comes on the payment per RVU, not the RVU, so they shouldn't make you earn more. 2. Since you don't work...

    core0 replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
