Bill Summary
Diagnostic Imaging Services Access Protection Act of 2011 - Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to prohibit the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) from applying a multiple procedure payment reduction policy to the professional component of imaging services furnished: (1) in 2012; or (2) in 2013 or a subsequent year unless the reduction is based on the data, analysis, and conclusions of a study completed by an expert panel of physician members from a national medical speciality society expert in the field of diagnostic imaging services.
AI Summary
This bill, the Diagnostic Imaging Services Access Protection Act of 2011, amends Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, which governs Medicare, to prevent the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) from applying a "multiple procedure payment reduction policy" to the professional component of diagnostic imaging services. This policy, which reduces payments when multiple imaging procedures are performed, would be prohibited for services provided in 2012. For 2013 and beyond, the reduction could only be applied if it is based on the findings of a study conducted by an expert panel of physicians from a national medical specialty society that is an expert in diagnostic imaging, such as the American College of Radiology. The bill's findings indicate that Medicare payments for imaging services have already been significantly reduced, and further reductions could limit beneficiaries' access to these essential services, necessitating further study before additional cuts are made.
