VIDEO: CMS drops in-office physician requirement for incident-to billing
KOLOA, Hawaii — In this video from Orthopedics Today Hawaii, David M. Glaser, JD, discusses changes to incident-to billing requirements made by CMS.
“Historically, a physician needed to be in the office suite in order to bill incident-to,” Glaser, health care attorney at Fredrikson & Byron, told Healio. “That requirement is gone through at least the end of 2025. During the pandemic, CMS said you can provide a direct supervision for services remotely as long as you are available by smartphone — that is, a phone that has both audio and visual capabilities.”
