You can't afford not to use NPPs these days -- but you can't afford to incorrectly bill their services either.
It happens all the time in cardiology practices: doctors try to bill for the NPPs work when they shouldn't -- or "sign off" on the NPP's work as if he or she were a resident. On the other extreme, some cardiology practices see their NPPs as no more than glorified nurses -- which is a huge waste of resources. Bottom line, there's lot more potential for billing and compliance snafus regarding NPPs in cardiology, than, say, in family practice or internal medicine where the physician and the NPPs pretty much do the same things. Giving NPPs the autonomy they qualify for can expand your cardiology practice by leaps and bounds -- but you have to do it carefully.
