if this section does not apply because the interpreting physician will bill separate from the IDTF.
All physicians whose interpretations will be billed by this IDTF with the technical component (TC) of the
test (i.e., global billing) must be listed in this section. If there are more than three physicians, copy and
complete this section as needed. All interpreting physicians must be currently enrolled in the Medicare
program.
If you are billing for interpretations as an individual reassigning benefits, the interpreting physician must
complete the Reassignment of Benefits Form (CMS 855R). Note: Both the IDTF and individual physician
must be enrolled with the fee-for-service contractor where the IDTF is located.
If you are billing for purchased interpretations, all requirements for purchased interpretations must be met.
When a mobile unit of the IDTF performs a technical component of a diagnostic test and the interpretive
physician is the same physician who ordered the test, the IDTF cannot bill for the interpretation. Therefore,
these interpreting physicians should not be reported since the interpretive physician must submit his/her
own claims for these tests.
