Does anyone have experience with billing as a pharmacist? Let's say I formed a collaborative practice agreement with a physician and round with the team. Important to note that the physician is not employed by the hospital but is contracted. Is it possible for me to write notes and bill insurance for consults provided? I see plenty of information regarding this in an outpatient setting but not for inpatient. I've linked some webpages below that detail the CPT 99211-99214 billing codes. Any help is most definitely appreciated. Thank you.

--- SAMPLE LETTER ---
Dear Respected Louisiana State Senator:
As someone who very much respects Physicians who have dedicated many years to be able to practice medicine I am writing to OPPOSE House Bill 442 (โHB495โ) which would end the state required Collaborative Practice Agreement (CPA) between Nurse Practitioners and Physicians thus allowing for Full Practice Authority (FPA) for Nurse Practitioners.
At a minimum, Physicians across the country have dedicated seven (7) years of their lives to become a medical or doctors. Despite earning a doctorate of medicine and successfully passing the United States Medical Licensing Examinations (USMLE Step 1, 2 and 3), medical doctors must complete an additional, and at a minimum, three (3) years of post-graduate medical training also known as residency. By the end of residency, Physicians accumulate over 15,000 hours of supervised clinical training. That is the type of dedication it takes to become a Physician and what is necessary to be granted FPA.
On the contrary, Nurse Practitioners (NPs) complete only a two (2) year Master's degree. Some of these Master's programs may now be completed mostly online.ย Upon graduation, NPs have only 500 hours of clinical training compared t

I am an APRN who is exploring an opportunity to purchase a private primary care practice that is currently owned by a Physician. We are a two person team; he has been wonderful to work with and is ready to retire in the next year. I am not sure if I will be fortunate enough to find another MD/DO to work with since we are so rural, not a FQHC, and not affiliated with any hospital network. I very much appreciate the independent practice that my state affords me... but I also love and value working with a Physician for a multitude of reasons. That being said, I recognize that it may be easier to find another APRN to work with, and I donโt want to work alone.
My questions: I am looking for recommendations on how to recruit a MD/DO for our practice. Are there any specific channels I should go through? If adding a Physician to our team on a full-time basis does not work out, I am wondering if anyone (especially those in family med) has ever worked with a collaborating Physician or has any recommendations on how to develop/form such a relationship and what they typically look like. Iโm also interested in hearing what compensation for a collaborating Physician would look like.
Thank you!!
I'm a P1 and my preceptor at an independent retail pharmacy asked me to write up a collaborative practice agreement between her and a doctor so that she could call prior auth lines for them. So I looked it up and tried to find information about it but it seems like most CPAs are for adjusting dosage of therapy? Anyways I wrote it up, but I'm not sure if i did it correctly or if this is a common practice?
I'm just curious what y'alls opinions on this is.
This is in Virginia, if that matters
Have any pharmacists out there put together collaborative practice agreements with physicians in their area? How did you go about surveying the clinics to see if the service you wanted to offer would be of value to them? Then how did you go about establishing your collaborative practice agreement and patients?
I am a certified anticoagulation care provider and will be applying for my advanced practice pharmacist license in the state of California. I have previous experience managing an Anticoag Clinic for the VA, but now I'm working in the private sector at a small retail pharmacy and wish to offer this service to the clinics in the rural area I live in.
I'd like to discuss with another ambulatory care pharmacist how you got your business/practice up and running.
I am a PMHNP with both inpatient and academic experience. Over the course of the last year and a half I have had so much trouble obtaining and or maintaining a collaborator. Doctors are extremely hesitant to partner with me.
I have a great reputation and have never had issue in any areas of my practice. I also attended a highly respected university.
I am mandated to have this partnership in writing but no one is willing. If they are they are charging unreasonable amounts of money for this relationship. Iโm at my whits end, I love what I do but canโt seem to find support.
Please help, any and all advise welcome.

Iโm starting a collaborative practice (multiple sole proprietorships working under the same roof) and we are moving into our location next week.
I am wondering if any of you are part of a collaborative practice?
Does your collaborative practice use a charter of rules and regulations associated with working together? If so, would you mind sharing your charter? Having a hard time wrapping my mind around all of the things that should be included
Not sure if this is something anyone would be interested in, but over the last 4 years I've been continually updating a massive playlist on Spotify containing some of my favorite bass lines in a wide range of genres with varying levels of difficulty/complexity. It's a super helpful tool for me for practicing, warming up, and just generally playing some fun lines.
The playlist is collaborative too, so please feel free to add some of your fave tracks! Hope y'all enjoy.

NEO Battery Materials announce dthat NEO has entered into a collaborative development agreement (or "Collaboration") with Yonsei University-Industry Foundation ("YUIF"). The objective of the Collaboration is to conduct research and forward the development and commercialization of the proprietary ion-conductive polymer nanocoating technology for silicon anode applications.
Spencer Huh, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are delighted to be partnered with YUIF to collaboratively develop our proprietary silicon anode technology. Our disruptive technology holds the potency to remove the bottleneck for electric vehicles through silicon's superior electrochemical properties. We look forward to advance this partnership for further productive opportunities."
Under this Collaboration, NEO will jointly develop its nanocoating technology to enhance the performance and durability of silicon anodes materials in lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). NEO's technology also aims to improve the flexibility and specific capacity of the respective anode active material, increasing the energy density and life span of LiBs in electric vehicle, consumer electronics, and energy storage applications. Utilizing lean and efficient process steps, NEO believes that its unique single-stop process will enable cost-effective and scalable production.
The term of the Collaboration will continue for a period of 3 years from May 10, 2021. Any potential IP rights resulting from the Collaboration will be wholly owned by NEO Battery Materials.
Leading research and development will be Dr. Jong Hyeok Park, Director and Chief Scientific Advisor. Dr. Park was previously a Senior Researcher for LG Chem with a total of 92 patents and co-invented the world's first safety-reinforced separator (SRS). He is currently a technology advisor for next-generation batteries at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) and a Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Yonsei University.

I dont know anyone who has a collaborative practice agreement. I'm just wondering if the physician is typically compensated for this.
Over the course of the last year and a half Iโve had so much trouble obtaining and maintaining a collaborator. Doctors are just so hesitant and wonโt participate in something I am mandated to have in place. What is the deal- Iโm at my whits end with this.
Please help any and all advice welcome!
