I need help, please. I have just started working for a group of physicians who read various imaging tests. Here is my question. They don't have a physician in the group qualified to read ECHO's so they have contracted out the reading. The contracting group charges us (not the patient) for the reading at the current Medicare allowable rate. My doctors want to bill for the professional and technical component. Can I legally do this? If so, how do I account for the fact that the doctor reading the test is not part of our group? I have written to Medicare for information, but I'm afraid their answer is way over my head. Nothing I read from them indicates this can be done, yet nothing indicates it can't. Can anyone help me? I would so much appreciate it if you could.
Many thanks,
TJ
