Hey guys, so I am in the process of setting up a hospital based pain practice and have a question regarding your setup and "midlevel" providers versus scribes to increase your throughput. My question is how have you integrated PA's and NP's into your system, and at what length do you become involved in also seeing their patients for the purposes of billing. Realistically, it would be an ideal situation where you could increase your throughout with their help, but also be involved in recording the physical exam and assessment/recommendations for the purposes of billing at a higher level and remaining more directly involved with patient care.
A follow up question, in a hospital setting where you are being reimbursed on a wRVU basis, what amount of additional interaction and documentation must you do to also sign the NP or PA's note as the primary provider so that wRVU is reflected onto the physician.
