Accreditation support
Prism Physics provides affordable, comprehensive accreditation assistance to guide you through the accreditation process in the following modalities:
* CT * MRI * Nuclear Medicine * PET * Mammography * Breast MRI * Ultrasound * Breast Ultrasound * Stereotactic Breast Biopsy *
As a result of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) passed July 2008, effective January 1, 2012, all non-hospital providers that bill for MRI, CT, PET and nuclear medicine under the Medicare Part-B Physician Fee Schedule must be accredited in order to receive technical component reimbursement from Medicare. Even if your facility has received accreditation in CT, MRI, PET and/or nuclear medicine imaging, there are newly mandated requirements for CMS reimbursements after January 1, 2012:
- Verification of personnel qualifications with primary source verification
- Policy on patient record retention/retrieval
- Policy on consumer complaints
- A notice informing the patients where they can file a consumer complaint must be posted
- Policy on staff and patient safety
- "Provisional" or "under review" accreditation status will no longer be permitted
- Sites must be prepared for unannounced site visits from both the ACR and CMS
- ACR must share accreditation information with CMS
- False or misleading information provided to an accrediting body to achieve accreditation can be used to initiate a federal fraud investigation
