I have this in my saved files but I can't find the "reg" that it's tied to. Does anyone have the link??? (I'm still looking for it) 
"Surgeons can bill and Medicare pays for medical services provided by certain mid-level practitioners (physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists) in the hospital. However, surgeons cannot bill separately for other staff, such as pump perfusionists, registered nurse-first assistants, and operating room technicians. Reimbursement for these staff are paid to hospitals under Part A or the Ambulatory Payment Classification for hospital outpatient services"
