    We have heard that BCBS and Medicaid in Mass have a policy whereby they will not enroll a provider who will be working out of state, in this case a radiologist doing final reads from a remote location.  Does anyone have experience with this situation in Massachusetts?

     

    Thanks,

    John

    Hi John,

    Can we connect offline?  Curious to hear what the conversation was with both BCBS and Medicaid in MA.  We reached out to BCBS and were told they were not aware of any issues with remote (OOS) radiologists signing reports.
