Adding NP!!!

<< < (3/3)

PMRNC:
I guess we are still not acknowledging the difference between a LIVE provider and NON live provider? LOL

<<I don't remember that a single practitioner can be the sole owner of a "Group".  But I am willing to be corrected if the truth is different.>>

Yes, I see it all of the time..but you must be sure to put a rendering provider down with the individual NPI in box 24K. And the group NPI in the practice information.

Michele:
I am not sure of the legal aspect of what constitutes a group but I know that one practitioner can form a corporation.  I am certainly not a legal expert.  Richard made some good points about reimbursement that should be considered when the provider makes the decision on how they want to set this up.

I know it sounded funny, but it is a serious distinction between a live person and a legal entity - as both can conduct business in their own name, but the legal requirements imposed on each are different.  Plus, the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that corporations are "persons" for the purpose of free speech.  Both a "live" person and a "corporate" person can own a business.  Given the difference in legal requirements imposed on each "person", it is important to know which one you are talking about.
