Summary
The Medicare Access to Radiology Care Act of 2021 (S. 2641) would allow Medicare to pay for medical imaging services performed by certified radiologist assistants (RAs) when they are supervised by a radiologist. Currently, Medicare only provides reimbursement for these specific services when they are performed directly by a physician. By expanding coverage to include services provided by RAs, the bill aims to reduce patient wait times and improve the efficiency of diagnostic imaging departments and clinics.
