Can organizations that furnish physician or practitioner services opt out?
No. Corporations, partnerships, or other organizations that bill and are paid by Medicare for the services of physicians or practitioners who are employees, partners or have other arrangements that meet the Medicare reassignment-of-payment rules cannot opt out since they are neither physicians nor practitioners. Of course, if every physician and practitioner within a corporation, partnership or other organization opted out, then such corporation, partnership, or other organization would have in effect, opted out.
