Moorefield Economics and Health Policy Fellowship

The James M.Moorefield Economics and Health Policy Fellowship, sponsored by the Economics and Health Policy Department, gives radiology residents direct personal exposure to the ACR's socioeconomic and health policy activities.

This fellowship provides a radiology resident or fellow direct exposure to, and hands-on experience with, the functions of the ACR Department of Economics and Health Policy and the Commission on Economics within the ACR. The department is responsible for all ACR activities involving the reimbursement and health policy issues that affect radiologists', radiation oncologists' and medical physicists' practices.

The two-week program is designed to better inform residents about reimbursement and medical policy issues, including development of new CPT® codes, the valuation process, Medicare national and local coverage of radiology and radiation oncology procedures, and coverage  by third-party payers and managed care organizations.

For additional information on this fellowship, contact Evelyn Gilbert in the Economics and Health Policy department at 800-227-5463 x4774 or by e-mail at egilbert@acr.org.

The application deadline is April 15, 2012.
