Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1050-03-.10 - SUPERVISION
(1) Before any person certified under this
chapter of rules is authorized to perform any x-ray procedure or operate any
x-ray equipment in a physician's office, the physician shall place a copy of
the person's renewal certificate in the person's personnel file to prove the
person being authorized has the appropriate certification required for either
or both the procedure being performed and/or the equipment being used and that
such certification is current.
(2)
The employing physician(s), or a physician designated by the employing
physician(s) as a substitute supervisor, shall exercise close supervision and
assume full control and responsibility for the services provided by any person
certified under this chapter of rules employed in the physician(s') practice.
That supervision, control and responsibility, except when it involves contrast
imaging or involves sedation, does not require the physical presence of the
physician(s) at all times at the site where the services are being provided.
However, it does require that the physician(s) have his/her primary medical
practice physically located within the boundaries of the state of Tennessee and
that he/she be capable of being physically present at the site where the
services are being provided within a reasonable time depending upon the type of
x-ray being performed and the severity of the medical complications that may
arise from that type of x-ray.
