I'm a TPB in the state of NJ. I've been registered with them for 4 years now. I have been ask to do billing for a NY provider. Does anyone know if you have to register with the state like NJ?
Also I thought at one time I read something that NY you can't charge a percent you have to charge a flat rate is that true?
Before I say yes to the provider, I would like to make sure I have all my information correct and be able to provide a best services to them. . Is there any other information you all think I should know about billing chiropractic in NY before I take on a provider from NY. I bill for three chiropractors now in NJ.
Again Thank you all for your help, on this.

In NY it is illegal for healthcare provider's to enter into any type of fee-splitting arrangement. NY is one of the ones that are pretty cut/dry
Section 6530.19 - 19. Permitting any person to share in the fees for professional services, other than: a partner, employee, associate in a professional firm or corporation, professional subcontractor or consultant authorized to practice medicine, or a legally authorized trainee practicing under the supervision of a licensee. This prohibition shall include any arrangement or agreement whereby the amount received in payment for furnishing space, facilities, equipment or personnel services used by a licensee constitutes a percentage of, or is otherwise dependent upon,
the income or receipts of the licensee from such practice, except as otherwise provided by law with respect to a facility licensed pursuant to article twenty-eight of the public health law or article thirteen of the mental hygiene law
