Split/shared services are one of the most misunderstood categories of billing and reporting. For evaluation and management (E/M) visits jointly furnished by a physician and NPP in the same group practice in a facility setting, CMS has historically allowed the visit to be billed under the physician's NPI. However, all of that changed in 2022 and 2023 (transitional years) with updated rules that disallowed this practice and required the visit to be billed under the NPI of the physician or NPP who either documents the history, exam, or medical-decision-making for the visit OR whoever provides more than 50% of the total service time. In 2024, the changes are even more drastic, now requiring the visit to be billed under the NPI of the individual who provides more than 50% of the total visit time. This changes everything about how these encounters are billed and dramatically impacts physician RVU allocation. The 2024 split/shared service updates will have a massive impact on providers' clinical documentation and reimbursement rates.
