Washington 360-236-2750 Website	When an out-of-state radiologist is the only radiologist reading the film (i.e., no second in-house read), then the radiologist is practicing medicine in Washington. In reviewing this issue with the AAG advisors we have always agreed that RCW 18.71.030 (6) is the justification for not requiring that the out-of-state radiologist to have a Washington license. Sub (6) requires that the MD be licensed in another state or territory. This excludes radiologists residing and practicing in England, Australia, India, etc. The board advises that hospitals contracting with out-of-state providers require that in addition to holding a valid U.S. license, the utilized providers be board-certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
