More than four-fifths of healthcare provider organizations are shorthanded of allied health professionals, and the job title with the most unfilled positions in the category is radiologic technologist.

Almost half of U.S. women covered by or eligible for Medicare have not been screened for breast cancer for at least three years, according to a study just out from the Radiology Business Management Association.

The American College of Radiology is again linking arms with the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) in a lawyer-guided effort to iron out an abrading wrinkle in the No Surprises Act.

The academics turn the tables in median starting salaries, edging out private-practice interventional radiologists $380,000 to $374,000 while also working fewer weekly call days.

At scientific journals focused on medical imaging, 82% of editors-in-chief and 30% of editorial board members receive financial compensation for these side jobs.

Warning that proposed new cuts in Medicare reimbursement could afflict U.S. healthcare with “severe and permanent damage,” the Radiology Business Management Association has presented CMS with detailed recommendations for stopping such a dire scenario from arising.

Last week CMS dug in with its decision to put off finalizing an alternative value-based payment model for radiation oncology services to “a date to be determined through future rulemaking.”
