Under a new Medicare final rule, provider organizations will be required to bill for joint visits with physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs) with greater distinction than they have in the past.
Organizations that prepare for these changes strategically can not only comply with the new rule but also improve their financial picture and increase their patients’ access to care.
The rule is scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, 2024.
These anticipated changes to split/shared billing practices will have far-reaching impacts on financials, provider productivity and compensation, care team dynamics, and beyond.
