IUI Performed By Nurses
In our office, nurses perform the IUI and credit the ordering physician. We have the following questions: 1) Are there any legal concerns with malpractice in having the nurse perform these services instead of the physician? 2) Can we bill an insurance company for an IUI performed by an RN? 3) Must the physician be physically present in the office at the time of the IUI in order to bill for the service?
