State/County Code and State Region - Leave blank. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Regional Office will complete.
Question II
• The director is the owner or person having administrative control and responsibility for the operation of portable X-ray equipment.
• If more than one degree is held, check the highest degree; e.g., director holds both an M.D. and an M.P.H., check physician; director holds Ph.D. and M.S., check
Ph.D. Check block 1 if a physician is licensed to practice medicine or osteopathy.
Question IV –
• Include only those persons regularly employed.
• Do not include director. Count each technologist only once; e.g., technologist holds a B.S. degree in radiologic technology and is also a graduate of a 24-month
approved school, place his full-time equivalents in block A.
• To determine full-time equivalents, divide the total number of hours worked by all employees in each classification in the week prior to the week of filing the
request by the number of hours in the standard work week. If the result for each classification is not a whole number, express it as a quarter fraction; e.g., .00, .25,
.50, or .75.
