help needed re: clinic closing and billing

[Guest guest]

My clinic is closing. It is classified as a Rehab Agency which means there

always has to be 2 employees present to treat. I may be able to

sublease the space from the Agency, but to make it affordable for now, I

would need to do it with just 1 employee (me). This would, I guess, require

me to resign and sublet as my own business so that I didn't have to follow

the Agency Rules. Would I be able to use the Rehab Agency for billing so I

could use their current insurance company provider numbers for timely

(cough, cough) reimbursement? If not, could I instead retroactively bill

after a 90 day-ish wait for my new insurance company provider numbers and as

their employee? Or should I resign and then retroactively bill as my own

company? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Steve,

 

In Texas the provider code is assigned to the treating therapist for any given

insurance company.   When I started working for a company three years ago,

CareNOW, they applied for provider #'s while I was working at their other

clinics.  I believe they used the other provider's # while mine was in the

works.  I would think the land system would be similar...

 

Good luck!
