Radiology is the most fragmented specialty with primary patient care and consultation as the major focus. A radiologist plays a role as a consultant covering various medical imaging for other specialty diagnoses. A radiology practice is sequenced according to the geographic area, radiologist struggle with a different universal set of medical practices. It’s cumbersome for the radiologist to decrease the unnecessary utilization, and reduce cost.
As you represent the most fragmented healthcare service in the U.S. this can turned over into groups to scale-up to recognize the value and add value to the healthcare system. So radiologists have formed a group of radiology partners sprung the radiologist together with the major focus is transformative changes in bringing diagnostic imaging.
The driving force for radiology partners and like-minded groups is trying to reduce the geographic disparities that exist in healthcare and unnecessary utilization. The group will help in increasing the engagement between radiologists and share better radiology billing management.
According to a recent statement by radiologist “The interest was a fundamental concept utilizing radiologist training and expertise with recommended follow-up care should be provided to patients based on interpretation of the image, providing the diagnosis. Providing a recommendation for all follow-up care, for a radiologist the required intervention is more important and further follow-ups are not required.”
For insurance companies, this might be a big opportunity for increasing their billing through practice management. For proper revenue management and reduce the complicated health system to share knowledge and expertise of radiology practice, share expertise with consistent output. The real dollars are at stake this leads to what happens in the radiology report and what will happen next.
Imaging is powerful but if clinicians are not doing things right with that information the value that has been offer isn’t being captured.
“An appropriate care requires follow-up and intervention when required both for the diagnostic imaging itself and follow-up provides opportunities for revenue growth.”
It’s a trend in the happening more and more across the country, hospitals and health systems are focused on population health and differentiating for the populations they serve. The idea is to give consumers more information so that they can choose physicians and clinicians drive the best quality and outcomes that drive the increase in patient revenue.
