A pediatric cardiologist performs fetal EKGs at our hospital and bills for the professional component since he reads and interprets them. However, the hospital does not have a technician in place to run this equipment, so the physician also performs these tasks. Can the hospital still bill for the technical component and then has to reimburse the physician for that portion of the payment? Does he have to become part of the medical staff and all of the steps that credentialing entails? Or is there another way to address this?
Thank you
