Locum tenens, derived from the Latin term meaning "to hold the place," refers to the temporary substitution of a physician. Despite initial confusion, Medicare renamed this concept "fee for time compensation," yet the billing fundamentals remain unchanged: billing under the regular physician, exclusive use by physicians, a 180-day arrangement limit, and specific details.
Join us for an insightful session with industry-renowned speaker Jill M. Young, where we will delve into the complexities of locum tenens and fee for time arrangements. This session covers eligibility criteria, duration limitations, billing procedures, required documentation, and other crucial aspects of this unique Medicare billing arrangement.
During the webinar, Jill will address the challenges faced by both providers seeking locum tenens positions and offices looking to hire locums. Many providers struggle to find companies that offer realistic scenarios and expectations. Contrary to popular belief, locum tenens physicians are not relieved of administrative tasks like billing and coding. Accurate coding is essential, and errors can lead to denials without recourse and potential fraud charges.
