Key points
Medicare will cover services performed by radiologist assistants, potentially increasing access to imaging.
Payments will be 85% of the amount paid for the same services performed by a radiologist.
Radiologist assistant services can be provided in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other facilities.
