Additional limitations are set forth in 130 CMR 433.413 and 433.437.
(A) Definitions.
(B) Payment. A physician may bill for the professional component of a service or procedure or, subject to the conditions of payment set forth in 130 CMR 433.407(C), both the professional and technical components of the service or procedure.

(C) Conditions of Payment for the Provision of Both the Professional and Technical Components of a Service or Procedure. Only the physician providing the professional component of the service or procedure may bill for both the professional and technical components.
