Are you confident your team is billing “Incident To” services correctly or could you be at risk for denials and noncompliance?

Join us for this essential training on Incident To Billing, one of the most commonly misunderstood areas in Medicare reimbursement. This webinar is designed to clarify the requirements, eliminate confusion, and give coders, billers, providers, and compliance professionals the tools they need to bill under a supervising physician’s NPI appropriately.

We’ll break down the key CMS rules, including scope of practice, direct supervision, and when services no longer qualify as “incident to.” You’ll learn the necessary documentation components, how to differentiate between shared/ split visits, and common mistakes that lead to billing errors, audits, and lost revenue.

Whether you’re in primary care, multi-specialty, or an outpatient clinic setting, this session will provide real-world examples, checklists, and coding strategies that can be implemented immediately to safeguard your organization.

Don’t risk getting it wrong. Stay informed, stay compliant, and ensure your billing aligns with the latest guidelines.
