Advanced imaging services have received significant attention over the past 10 years. Providers of such services as CT scans are required to have specific accreditation in order to receive reimbursement. While these requirements have been in place for some time, beginning Jan. 1, 2022, another set of requirements will be implemented. Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) was created by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to ensure beneficiaries are receiving the most appropriate imaging service for their clinical situation. This 90-minute webinar will discuss requirements of both advanced imaging and AUC, correct code and modifier reporting as well as impacts to reimbursement.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Define Advanced Imaging Accreditation and AUC.
- Differentiate between Advanced Imaging Accreditation and the AUC program.
- Describe the AUC program with identification of the data elements required on a claim.
- Identify which payers require accreditation and use of AUC.
- Explain additional operational processes that will be required for the individual provider to ensure compliance.
