If ‘incident to’ requirements are not met for the shared/split E/M service, the service must be billed under the NPP’s UPIN/PIN [Unique Physician Identification Number/Provider Identification Number], and payment will be made at the appropriate physician fee schedule payment.”#N#In a hospital setting, when an E/M is shared between a physician and an NPP from the same group practice, and the physician provides any face-to-face portion of the E/M encounter with the patient, the service may be billed under either the physician’s or the NPP’s UPIN/PIN number.
