Been doing some inpatient acute rehab coverage as a side gig and as an independent contractor (somewhat crappy per diem for call and I bill professional fees). After months of run around, my biller told me that since I do not have a physical address (office) at the rehab facility I have to bill under the full time rehab guy and have him cut me a check like a locum. My medicare info is linked to my group practice down the road.
The regular rehab doc is solid/trustworthy but also a independent contractor. If my professional collections are billed under him and he cuts me a check I would assume we both get hammered with taxes (unless he deducts his taxes and I don't report his checks to me to IRS). We both want to do things above the board.
Is my biller cracked out? Are my assumptions on taxes correct? Appreciate any comments.
