The American College of Radiology® (ACR®) provided comments to the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regarding the agency’s request for information (RFI) about regulations that are “unnecessary, unlawful, unduly burdensome, or unsound.”

ACR’s response included comments about the treating physician rule, supervision of contrast administration, the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) program, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) Imaging Appropriate Use Criteria program, and implementation of the No Surprises Act (NSA) Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process. The ACR focused on regulatory changes that would reduce burdens on radiologists and radiology practices and improve access to the NSA IDR process.

For questions about the ACR response to the OMB RFI, contact Katie Keysor, ACR Senior Director, Economics and Health Policy.
