MBS ANSWERS

As a surgeon working in the private sector, can I bill doppler ultrasounds if they are performed by another doctor who I supervise?

Context

I work in the private sector supporting a service run by GPs managing vein conditions. If they do the doppler ultrasounds (items 55244 and 55246) can I bill them under my provider number? I've heard this is permitted as long as I supervise them. The person who does the scan is another medical practitioner not a sonographer or radiographer.
