The patient can use the disclosure notice and list of suppliers in making an informed-decision about his or her course of care for the imaging service. The physician must maintain a record of the disclosure in the patient’s medical record. If we were investigating the referrals of a physician providing advanced imaging services under the inoffice ancillary services exception, we would review the written disclosure to determine whether the physician satisfied the requirement.
