CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 12, § 100.1.3
Psychiatry
The general teaching physician policy set forth in §100.1 applies to psychiatric services.
For certain psychiatric services, the requirement for the presence of the teaching
physician during the service may be met by concurrent observation of the service by use
of a one-way mirror or video equipment. Audio-only equipment does not satisfy to the
physical presence requirement. In the case of time-based services such as individual
medical psychotherapy, see §100.1.4, below. Further, the teaching physician supervising
the resident must be a physician, i.e., the Medicare teaching physician policy does not
apply to psychologists who supervise psychiatry residents in approved GME programs.
