Medicare: Payments for Radiologist Assistant Services

This bill aims to enable Medicare payments for services provided by radiologist assistants. This means that patients using Medicare may have broader access to radiology procedures, as more qualified individuals will be able to perform them, and the costs of these services will be covered.
Key points
Medicare will pay for radiologist assistant services, potentially increasing access to imaging studies.
Payment for radiologist assistant services will be 85% of the amount paid for the same services performed by a radiologist.
Radiologist assistant services will be paid for in both office and facility settings, such as hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers.
