Post NP billing with students
Author: sutton
Date: Jul 10, 2008 3:27 pm
As the NP for a consultation service, I frequently have graduate nursing students in primary or palliative care NP programs spend a semester with me for their clinical practicums.
Since I am now billing for services, I am not sure if I can bill if the student writes the note after I see the patient with her/him and co-sign the note. Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you.

Apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I don't have an answer at this time. I will make some contacts and get back to you ASAP.

I talked with Connie Dahlin who is the APN billing "guru". Here is her response: "I co-write the note with students and we both sign it and I bill depending on how much time I spent, not them." I hope this helps. Sandy Muchka, RN, CNS, ACHPN

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website, Title I of HIPAA protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs. Title II of HIPAA, known as the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, requires the establishment of national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers. It helps people keep their information private.
The Administration Simplification provisions also address the security and privacy of health data. The standards are meant to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's health care system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange in the U.S. health care system.
