“CPT code 76145 is the first CPT code explicitly recognizing efforts of imaging medical physicists & allows hospitals to bill for their services directly,” “Creation & implementation of CPT code 76145 resulted from a nearly decade-long cooperative effort of American Association of Physicists in Medicine American College of Radiology @SIRspecialists & @americancollegeofcardiology Code captures considerable work required by #medicalphysicists “Code captures considerable work required by #medicalphysicists to complete a careful, patient-specific dose evaluation for patients who have undergone one or more high-dose procedures and are at increased risk of a severe deterministic radiation effect.” https://lnkd.in/eVYZxGY8 https://lnkd.in/eEXPAGs9

This should be an insightful discussion

One of the things I've really enjoyed about being a radiologist is the focus on continual improvement. You experience this in every practice and it is one of the cornerstones of the American College of Radiology. I am happy to share the link to Radiology Partners Clinical Values Team's first case in a new peer learning initiative. These are great reminders and insights on findings we see daily in practice.

✅ Influencing medical policy! MSN worked with Palmetto GBA, a Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC), to enact a policy change that benefits radiology practices. By advocating for additional indications for CT Perfusion studies, we helped expand accepted indications for medical necessity. Persistence can pay off!

#AuntMinnieEurope's Top 10 Stories of 2023 highlight the unrelenting pressure on #radiology to increase the productivity. Faster scan times, fewer errors, and the implementation of new standards are the dominant themes. Notably, amidst the "triple challenge" of #healthcare productivity (faster, better, cheaper - pick any two), the issue of cost has seemingly flown under the radar. In the face of ongoing financial turbulence, radiology departments are facing even greater pressure to optimize practices. This raises a critical question: will this pressure drive advancements in automation or will it ultimately lead to unsustainable pressure points within the system?
