Split billing
Split billing is the division of a bill for service into two or more parts. Bills may be split to divide work between clients, payers or for reimbursement to different service providers for performing a shared service.[1][2]
Medical billing
[edit]Add-on codes
[edit]Add-on codes are additional work associated with a primary service or procedure. Add-on codes can and should only be billed when the provider has performed and billed the primary service.[3] CMS guidelines and coding textbooks agree that add-on codes should be on the same claim as the primary code.[4][5][6]
