CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 12, § 100.2
Interns and Residents
B3-2020.8, B3-8030
An attending physician’s services to beneficiaries in a teaching setting are covered under
the supplementary medical insurance program. Many physicians rendering such services
are on the faculty of a medical school or have arrangements with providers to supervise
and teach interns and residents. Payment may be made for professional services to a
beneficiary by an “attending” physician where the attending physician provides personal
identifiable direction to interns or residents who are participating in the care of this
patient.
See the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15, for services furnished by interns
and residents within and outside the scope of an approved training program.
