Are hospital based physicians eligible to participate in the Meridian subsidy program?
A. In general, hospital based physicians (for example, hospitalists, anesthesiologists, emergency department physicians, pathologists, and radiologists) rely on the hospital’s clinical record and do not have an outside office and therefore would not be eligible. For those hospital based physicians that have offices outside the hospital where they provide patient care, they should contact Meridian to determine if they are eligible and to obtain information relating to the nature of the subsidy amount.
