The Same tax ID Number. The Same
Specialty with many Providers in one Group.

A medical practice who has 5 Pediatricians. The same group that bills under one
the same tax ID number.
Pediatrician "A" saw a New Patient today. After 2 weeks, Pediatrician "B" sees
the patient for follow up. Would Pediatrician B bill for New Patient?
The answer is NO. This kind of scenario, billing for 5 different providers with the
same specialty is interchangeable. Meaning, you don't bill for New Patient for a
follow up visit when another Pediatrician under the same group, same tax ID
number sees a patient. That patient becomes an established patient.
