Endocrinologists who perform thyroid
ultrasound and ultrasonic guidance for biopsy and are Horizon participating
physicians will be required by Horizon to earn an Endocrine Certification In
Neck Ultrasound (ECNU) by June 1, 2015. In order to continue to be paid for
these services beyond May 31, 2014, physicians must have submitted an ECNU
Program Application to the AACE.
Originally, Horizon required that
endocrinologists performing these services be certified by January 1, 2014.
MSNJ, together with your state and national specialty society, urged Horizon to
delay the certification requirement because many physicians were not aware of
the requirement and would not be able to become certified before the January 1,
2014 effective date. The year and a half delay was granted in response to those
concerns.
