ED Manag. 2007 Nov;19(11):128-30.
Although the advisory opinion issued by the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General (OIG) specifically states it only applies to the pay-for-call arrangement at one hospital, experts say the ED manager can use the opinion to establish bench-marks for their own on-call arrangements. * At the very least, the OIG has made it clear that paying for on-call coverage is not in and of itself a violation of any statutes. * Any per diem rates paid to ensure that specialists agree to take call must be "reasonable" and meet "fair market value." * The fact that the specialists also may be paid for the services they provide may not necessarily mean your arrangement is improper.
尽管美国卫生与公众服务部监察长办公室（OIG）发布的咨询意见明确表示其仅适用于一家医院的电话呼叫付费安排，但专家表示，急诊科管理人员可以利用该意见为自己的随叫随到安排设定基准。*至少，OIG已明确表示，为随叫随到服务付费本身并不违反任何法规。*为确保专家同意值班而支付的任何每日费率必须“合理”且符合“公平市场价值”。*专家因其提供的服务也可能获得报酬，这一事实并不一定意味着你的安排不当。
