> Residents are not fully qualified physicians, so it does make sense that they cannot bill for their work. Residents are actually more qualified than many other "mid level" professions aka Medical Providers. Would I rather see a resident, or a nurse practicioner? The resident of course, because he/she actually completed medical school, whereas an NP may have a nursing oriented (no emphasis on diagnosis) masters or terminal degree.
