Teleradiologist is elf employed. Paid as an independent contractor via 1099 from dispatch type companies who receive x-rays from other facilities and transmit them to independent contract teleradiologists. Reads from home. Has a home business office(owns an LLC) but no "medical office" as per definition, in that not subject to state inspections, JCAHO evaluations, State Health Service, and no patients, and not under the auspices of the Dept of State Health Services. Does not bill patients or insurance. It's just not clear cut in the IRS regulations.
