Who needs incident-to services:

1. Primary care physicians: Primary care physicians often utilize incident-to services when they have a high volume of patients or require additional support in managing their workload. Incident-to services allow them to delegate certain tasks to non-physician providers while maintaining their direct supervision.
2. Specialists: Specialists may require incident-to services when they have patients who need ongoing care or follow-up visits that can be managed by non-physician providers. This helps streamline the delivery of care and allows specialists to focus on more complex cases.
3. Patients with chronic conditions: Patients with chronic conditions who require frequent visits and ongoing management can benefit from incident-to services. Non-physician providers, under the direct supervision of a physician, can provide routine care and assist in monitoring the patient's condition.

Please note that the specific need for incident-to services may vary depending on the medical practice setting, patient population, and the individual physician's preferences and workflow. It is important to comply with the guidelines and regulations set forth by CMS to ensure proper and accurate provision of incident-to services.
