Hi Judy,
Thanks for reading, and for the comment! I myself am not a big fan of using independent contractors. I much prefer employees. Check out my article here: https://twx.atlantacounseling.com/blog/should-i-hire-counselors-as-independent-contractors-or-employees/
As the article from Acupunture states, “The IRS utilizes a 20-point test to help differentiate between the two.” While I respect Acupuncture Today, I respectfully disagree with the writer of the article you cited, as I don’t believe the items he listed necessarily differentiate independent contractors from employees. I hope this helps some, and I’m sorry to hear you’re had a bad experience with an employing practice.
Warmly, Anthony

I’ve been doing research this evening on a similar issue, and it’s my understanding that the practice cannot bill the insurance company under their tax i.d. and still call this person an Independent Contractor. At least that is my interpretation. I’m including a link to one of the articles I came across in my research, and although in this case it was referring to Accupuncturists, the U.S. Tax code should be pretty consistent. I’ll be interested in your response, as I’m preparing to speak with an attorney about my own impending departure from a practice that has dealt with me in a less than honest manner. http://www.acupuncturetoday.com/archives2002/dec/12mcnamee.html
