Certified in Nuclear Medicine

Date: Oct 21, 2019

Question:

We have a new general cardiologist who will be sitting for his Nuclear Medicine Certification within the next month. He has started reading nuclear scans and is having them over read by one of our certified cardiologists. Can this be billed under the general cardiologist, or would it need to be billed under the Nuclear Certified providing the over read? Does the documentation need to include information about both providers?
