Psychologist in training

(1/2) > >>

laceyx08:
I'm getting a psychiatrist as a client who is starting her own group practice. It is just going to be her by herself until January and then she plans on hiring a psychologist who is still in training. She said she heard that I would just bill under her (the psychiatrist's name). Is this correct and is there a specific modifier that would go on that to state that?

Thanks

Michele:
Is she overseeing the training of this new psychologist?  Is the psychologist in some kind of residency program?

laceyx08:
I'm not sure about the residency. She will be overseeing her.

Michele:
Did the psychologist receive their license yet?  It is my understanding that it is illegal for one dr to bill for another dr's services under his/her name.  The only exception that I'm aware of is if the one dr is still completing their training and the other dr is overseeing.

laceyx08:
The person she will be overseeing is an LLP, if that helps
