How to Pay Dental Independent Contractor

How do I pay an independent contractir if the check in his name is deposited in my account. Thought of having him take check and pay me 1/2 as rent.

Well I'm confused. Who billed the patient? If they're truly an IC wouldn't the billing go out under your practice and you pay them for their services? That's generally how an IC works. If they're space sharing or subletting, and they bill for services, then rent appears to be the correct arrangement. Don’t mix the two.
