Stefanie Young Pennsylvania Nurse-Midwives or anyone with expertise in billing and coding.....does your back up physician need to be IN HOUSE in order to bill under their services? I was with a practice that just billed under the physician, and now with a new practice that is unsure if that is the correct billing procedure. Please help. We thought we were going to be helping this physician out by attending vaginal births, but now we aren't so sure if we have to have him there for each birth. Thanks. Stefanie Young, CNM
