Can the Medicare incentive include radiologists, anesthesiologists, and other physicians often associated with hospital-based employment?
Yes, if they do not furnish substantially all services in a hospital setting (whether inpatient or outpatient) and through the use of the facilities and equipment, including qualified electronic health records, of the hospital. However, what constitutes “substantially all services” and final physician eligibility determination will be based on criteria yet to be defined by HHS.
