Yes. Those services are covered, as long as the contractor's health care practitioners do not receive additional compensation from a third party for the performance of these services and they are acting within the scope of their employment under a self-determination contract. Reciprocal services include:

Cross-covering other medical personnel who temporarily cannot attend their patients;

Assisting other personnel with surgeries or other medical procedures;

Assisting with unstable patients or at deliveries; or

Assisting in any patient care situation where additional assistance by health care personnel is needed.
