The American College of Radiology (ACR) recently issued a statement of support for the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) appropriate use criteria program.
The ACR in its statement urged providers, including radiologists, and medical practices to continue leveraging criteria-based clinical decision support exam and procedure ordering systems while legislative updates are being made.
ACR CEO William T. Thorwarth Jr., MD spoke with AuntMinnie.com to talk more about the college's support and what's at stake for the program.
