“Covered Recipients” -
Physicians -
The Final Rule retains the proposed definition of “physician” as meaning doctors of medicine and osteopathy, dentists, podiatrists, optometrists, and chiropractors, who are legally authorized to practice by the state in which they practice. All physicians that have a current license to practice will be considered covered recipients, unless they are employees of the applicable manufacturer submitting the report to CMS.
