Do you know what Locum Tenens is and how it applies to us as billers? This is when we hire a temporary doctor to cover the practice for a few days or weeks. Maybe our owner is going on vacation or had an emergency and needs time off but we do not want to stop production. Don't do what most offices do and bill with the owner as the treating dentist in box #53 on the claim form! That is bonafide FRAUD!
In this week's episode, Ericka talks about Locum Tenens and what you need to know about it when we need to know about it from a billing standpoint. Be sure to take notes because this is a short yet powerful episode. Enjoy!
