Few ‘surprise’ patient bills are from radiologists, study finds
Out-of-network billing by radiologists – often referred to as “surprise billing” – dropped significantly beginning in 2007 and imaging claims are now almost completely in network, according to a recent study. In an analysis of billing trends, the rate of out-of-network (OON) imaging claims declined from 12.6% in 2007 to 1.1% in 2021, with the decline occurring broadly across imaging modalities, noted lead author Jay Parikh, MD, of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. “This consistent decline over time likely reflects in part effective persistent good-faith negotiations between radiology...

IDR process financially unfeasible for radiologists
The independent dispute resolution (IDR) process would be financially impractical for many out-of-network claims for radiologists, according to research published January 17 in the American Journal of Roentgenology. A team led by Eric Christensen, PhD, from the Neiman Health Policy Institute in Reston, VA, found in its study of this part of the No Surprises Act that the potential balance payment would be more than 2024 IDR fees for between 32% and 55% of out-of-network claims for radiologists. This means that payment would exceed the expected breakeven point based on maximal recovery of the full difference. “Lack of fi...
