Hello everyone.. We need some help !!

We have a Physician who send a PT out for Radiology,
and the Radiologist , Took the x-ray, read the x-ray and Enterperted the
x -ray.

Now the same Physician is trying to say he wants to get credit for that
X-ray. And we have tried to explain to him that he did not do the xray, he only reviewed it after it was Finished .

Does anyone know where we can find any guidlines on this or about this
on any web site?

THanks :D

The only place the ordering physician "gets credit" for the Xray is in the data points for medical decision making of the E/M service.

Hope that helps.
