Flu Shots

(1/1)

TXBiller:
Hi All

I hope someone can help me with this one.

We are a physician's office.  The physician wants to send a medical assistant to an independent living senior apartment complex to give flu shots.  Any ideas how I might bill this?  Does the physician need to be present?  I'm confused about this one.  I've never billed for one like this before.  I know I'll need a demo & a copy of their insurance card(s).  Do I need to go and check eligibility & collect info?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  The majority are Medicare patients.

TIA

You need to check with your MAC to see if a licensed MA is a NPP. My guess it they are not, so the flu shots cannot be billed, unless a MD/DO or other licensed practitioner is providing the service, following Medicare's guidelines for billing.
