So an LLC may treat family members and bill MC? I am not a C-Corp.
And are family members then still liable for the coinsurance?
I would consult your healthcare attorney regarding the waiving of copays and coinsurance to family members.
Is there any regulatory language addressing whether or not a physician can refer themselves to physical therapy AND sign their own plan of care?
None of that I’m aware. If you have questions, consult a healthcare attorney.
We received an order for therapy and the patient is the referring doctor’s mother. The physician is in a PC, so I know this does not exclude him from the rule – but can we accept this referral or would any services stemming from this referral also be nonpayable?
This is not a question I can answer as you would need to make that determination and/or consult your healthcare attorney.
What about being a practice owner, PLLC, and my therapist wants to treat her husbands back pain, he has good insurance, and it’s not a federal payer like medicare. My guess would be look at the particular insurance plan’s fine print or consult a healthcare attorney.
