James M. Moorefield, MD, Fellowship in Economics & Health Policy

Accepting Applications Fall, 2022.

The James M. Moorefield, MD, Economics Fellowship, sponsored by the ACR Economics & Health Policy Department, provides radiology residents direct exposure to the College's economics activities.

The department is responsible for all ACR activities involving reimbursement and health policy issues that affect the practice of radiology, radiation oncology, interventional radiology and medical physics.

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, national and local Medicare coverage of radiology and radiation oncology procedures, and coverage by third-party payers and managed-care organizations.

Applications are accepted from third-year and fourth-year residents and fellows.

Tasks may be assigned to the fellow; and the fellow may be asked, when appropriate, to assume work duties that will contribute to the department.
