  • 1.  BREAKING NEWS! ACR accredited MRI and CT providers can now use mid-level practitioners to supervise contrast studies

    Posted 08-30-2022 14:14
    Yesterday, the ACR made a significant announcement of a change to its accreditation program requirements. For the first time, ACR will now authorize accredited MRI and CT imaging centers where intravascular contrast agents are utilized to directly supervise those studies using certain non-physician practitioners (NPPS), in addition to physicians who meet ACR's qualification requirements. 

    See my write up on this development here. Note that accredited imaging centers can make use of NPPs to supervise contrast studies only in states where those NPPs are authorized to do so.

    Thank you for the information!  Is there any information on how or if this will affect IDTF's?

     

    Thanks!

    Natalie,

     

    I updated the blog post earlier today to add this paragraph.

     

    "Unfortunately, despite these changes, independent diagnostic testing facilities (IDTFs) cannot take advantage of mid-level practitioner supervision. Tests performed in an IDTF setting must be supervised only by physicians designated on the 855B Medicare enrollment application, Attachment 2, that attest via their written signature that they are "proficient in the performance and interpretation" of the tests they are supervising."
