Dear AuntMinnie Member,
We're chock full of news this week in our Imaging Center Digital Community, where we're featuring a trio of articles that cover the gamut of imaging operations and practice management.
Leading off is an article on a California radiology group's dispute with insurance giant UnitedHealthcare of Minneapolis. The payor is asking for repayment of nearly $100,000 in reimbursement for electron-beam CT (EBCT) scans that the group conducted. Find out why by clicking here.
Next comes an update on a controversy that erupted in Rhode Island earlier this year, when news broke regarding a local hospital's potential deal to switch its radiology contract from a local group to a teleradiology program run by Massachusetts General Hospital of Boston. Find out how this story is coming to a resolution by clicking here.
Finally, we visit the topic of disaster preparedness with an article on what might be one of the most overlooked areas of most emergency plans -- helping healthcare staff prepare their families for disasters.
Researchers have found that in the event of a disaster, many medical professionals are so consumed with securing their own family's safety that they're unable to report to their jobs. Find out how you can prevent this from happening by clicking here.
