Invoicing for Assistants

Overview

An Assistant is a clinician who assists the practitioner with a procedure. The practitioner can then bill the patient for the assistant services on behalf of the assistant, or an assistant can bill for their own services independently to the practitioner's claim (using assistant items 51300 or 51303). If the assistant bills independently, they submit to Medicare as a separate claim so that the appropriate payments can be received separately.

Prior to billing for any Assistant Services, setup of both assistants and Assistant Items are required in Bluechip.
