yes, it used to be all in one. . and i will check to see when and who, i suspect CMS, started demanding the two be split out, so that all medical services are identified separately from rent/ operational overhead. medical then should be billed per procedure to medicare. . facilities are dependent upon the local situation. .

the biggest problem is that there are two bills instead of one now.
When they split the cost two ways - doctor/medical and rent/overhead - did the doctor/medical fee go down?
