CMS has finalized the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) for 2023, and its reimbursement reductions for radiology are less harsh than those proposed preliminarily in July.

A bipartisan group in the U.S. House is asking CMS to acknowledge the cost-effectiveness of coronary CT angiography by comprehensively covering the exam for patients who present with acute but stable chest pain or other early signs of arterial plaque buildup.

CMS stated the code would have an assigned payment rate of $900-$1,000. It became effective starting on October 1, 2022. 

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.

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.
