Hi Everyone, I own a medical weight loss practice in Florida. I'm considering bringing in an acupuncturist to perform services for our patients. The acupuncturist will be an independent contractor. I will supply her with an exam room and scheduling software, but that's about it. We (the medical practice) are out-of-network; we don't take any insurance or medicare. The acupuncturist is in network and will do her own billing for the services. To avoid fee-splitting and anti-kickback rules, I am going to simply charge her a rental fee for the space regardless what she charges the patients or bills insurance. Does that sound kosher?

Sounds like a decent plan to me. I would elaborate but there's really not much to say. You've covered all your bases. :)
