Morning, Vicki.
The transmittal announced this as a pilot program, but radiology groups are advised to bring it to the attention of any review organization seeking medical record documentation when such information is not easily forthcoming from the ordering physician's office.
Great question on the AUC/CDS program. I recommend that every radiology practice prepare themselves and their referring doctors for full implantation in 2022, but to monitor updates from CMS on whether education and testing will be extended another year.
