If you are not going to actually merge and have 1 billing number, his AC would have to be on a separate computer system.
Serene, are you saying that because you have AC linked to a PM (which would require the same billing number), or is it for legal or other reasons?
If the other internist makes up a superbill for each of his encounters, I don't understand why you would need the same billing number. Obviously, he wouldn't be able to link to a different PM, but inputting charges doesn't take to much time for anyone that can 10 key, only a little more work than mailing it to a billing service.
David, if your biller is in-house and not too busy, you might offer to do his billing for a fee with a separate PM
