(1) An individual practitioner may not claim payment under his or her own name and provider ID/service location number for services actually provided by another individual, whether or not the individual who provided the service is also a participating provider, or is an associate, partner, or employee of the individual practitioner.
(2) An individual practitioner may not claim payment under his or her own name and provider ID/service location number for medical services provided by the individual practitioner and for which the practitioner is paid by another entity (for example, hospital, clinic, long-term-care facility, pharmacy, home health agency, health maintenance organization, community health center, psychiatric day treatment program, day habilitation center, and adult day care center). In such cases, payment may be claimed only by the institution or facility.
