Home / Blog / Posts / Billing for Physician Extenders. A physician extender is a licensed health care provider (not a physician) that provides medical services, typically performed by a physician. The term physician extender is commonly used to identify trained health care professionals such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners.
The NP or nurse practitioner is often considered to be a physician extender as they can manage patients who do not require complex medical management or specialized treatment. The nurse practitioner job description includes what is known as a holistic approach to treating patients. Nurse Practitioners will look at issues such as social, economic and family dynamics as well as the disease or injury that might cause the patient to seek medical care. The majority of nurse practitioners work in family practice.
