CMS Hosts National Provider Call on Accreditation Requirements for Advanced Diagnostic Imaging Technical Suppliers

CMS will host a national provider call on the upcoming mandatory accreditation program for all suppliers that furnish the technical component of advanced diagnostic imaging on Thursday, June 23, 2011 from 2:30 – 4:00 p.m. EST.  Subject matter experts will discuss what the requirements are to meet the Sunday, January 1, 2012, deadline; who these requirements effect; and how to become accredited.  CMS will update information previously discussed on Open Door Forums that will streamline the requirements. See my original post on this topic here.

The target audience for this call includes physician office staff and all Medicare fee-for-service providers; the agenda will include:

• the law;
• deadlines;
• suppliers effected;
• the accreditation process;
• the enrollment process; and
• a question and answer session
