Hiring nonphysician practitioners (NPPs) can help medical practices improve patient care and increase reimbursement. Practices have found that NPPs can be valuable members of the health care team. However, physicians must remember that they are responsible for ensuring that NPPs such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners stay within their scope of practice and that billing regulations are not violated.
