Commissioners approve second billing company for psychiatric nurse practitioner services at residential treatment center
Summary
The commission approved adding a second billing and credentialing company to handle billing for a psychiatric nurse practitioner who will provide services at the county residential treatment center.
County commissioners approved an agreement to add a second billing company to handle billing and credentialing for the county's psychiatric nurse practitioner once the county begins billing for her services at the residential treatment center.
Bill Watson, staff member, said the county already approved one billing company but sought a second to avoid concentrating all billing and credentialing work with a single vendor. Watson said the second company is based in Indiana and that he believed the arrangement was acceptable. A commissioner said they reviewed the agreement and raised no objections. The commission moved, seconded and approved the agreement.
No contract amount or start date was provided during the discussion. The transcript does not specify which companies were selected by name during this agenda item.
