This includes preceptor looking up labs, fluids, & electrolytes/ any other tests & consults - Attend educational opportunities: meetings, simulations - Interface with other disciplines: pharmacy, dietary, charge nurse, resp. therapy, social work, family support, cardiology/cvs planning meeting, discharge rounds - Review feedback from faculty and preceptor along with a one month review with Dr. Matory, preceptor and Sandy.

18 Challenges! Staffing and scheduling patterns Varied levels of experience of staff Role models/mentors To teach or not to teach Office space Unit based conflicts Increasing national demand for NNPs/PAs
19 Michael Stone Trautman, MD FAAP
20 How To Educate
21 Competency in the Neonatology for NNPs and PAs Knowledge: Cognitive information to perform a task or procedure Assessment and interpretation of clinical information Skills: A specific procedure and the frequency of performing that procedure to be competent to perform A procedure frequency to maintain a skill Attitude: An understanding and positive attitude towards teamwork and patient safety
22 Curriculum for the NNPs and PAs Developed a series of self directed learning sessions, clinical skill simulations, and in situ simulations, by which the NNP/PA is asked to demonstrate certain skills but be able understand the whys and order a set of skills or procedures need to be performed.
23 Allows 24/7 access to information Self Directed Learning Allows learner to proceed at their own rate Disperses the educational opportunity throughout a larger system
24 Disadvantages of Self Directed Education Somewhat Impersonal To be effective, it has to have some form of accountability and the ability to tract the learner as to whether they have completed the assigned tasks.

29 Simulation Skills Sessions Once the NNP/PA has completed the online education, they participate in a skill session to demonstrate their ability to perform the skills. These are averaging on a quarterly basis with series of afternoon session which last 1-3 hours. Sessions are supervised with a neonatologist and simulation educator. Feedback is immediate and results noted.
30 In Situ and Simulation Sessions In situ simulations take place monthly in the NBICUs while simulation sessions occur quarterly. Sessions require an understanding of the patient s clinical condition and skill demonstration. The in situ simulations occur monthly basis and engaging both the NNP/PA, nursing staff and respiratory therapy. Simulation sessions are quarterly. Feedback with each format is an essential component of the educational experience

33 Throughout CPT, Physician is being replace by Qualified Healthcare Provider National Provider Identifier or NPI is a unique 10-digit identification number issued to health care providers in the United States by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Each provider needs NPI to bill Medicare/Medicaid. Most Commercial payers also use NPI
34 Incident To Medicare has specific rules for physicians to bill for practitioner services Incident to the physician These only apply in the Out-patient setting Neonatologists cannot use Incident to Billing in the NICU
35 Nurse Practitioners Crucial Distinction Employed by Physician Group Able to use all documentation, procedures, etc. as contributing to the Global Code Able to bill independently for procedures, other services Employed by Hospital Cannot use Physical Exam or Assessment/Plan documentation as contributing to Global Code
36 How can NNPs bill Allowable Scope of Practice determined by state laws Considerable variation state to state Need to have hospital privileges with defined scope of practice Need to be an approved provider by the 3 rd party payer Can then bill for all services for which they hold privileges and are allowed under state laws
37 Should the charge be under physician or NNP NPI If the NNP did the work without direct supervision, he/she should bill under NNP NPI PICC lines, Delivery Attendance, prenatal consults If physician contributed substantially to the work Directed care then service should be billed under physician NPI Daily Global Critical/Intensive codes Newborn resuscitation IF physician was in the DR directing the care
38 Documentation As always this is key Physician should document clearly the work that she/he performed. Always use the term Direct Care or an equivalent Co-signs are not adequate I saw and evaluated this patient. I discussed all aspects of patient management with the NNP and agree with the findings and plan as documented in the NNP's note.
39 NNP Procedures and Transport If the NNP preforms a billable service it should be billed under NNP provider number unless directly supervised by neonatologist (at the bedside, delivery room) If the NNP does the transport, all transport codes should be under NNP number Neonatologist may not bill (transport phone supervision) if NNP bills for face-to-face service
40 PICC Lines CPT Insertion of peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC), without subcutaneous port or pump; younger than 5 years of age (CPT 2012 p 203) Work RVU 1.92 Total Facility RVU 2.86 Not bundled with Hourly CC, Transport, or Neonatal/Pediatric CC/Intensive Care codes
41 Summary It is important to identify specific needs for your individual newborn unit before establishment of program Coordination of NNP/PA clinical service must include consideration of administrative and nursing services Initiation of service must include individualized competency needs (establishment and maintenance) Accurate coding and billing must be established and monitored
