Accreditation Basics
Section 135(a) of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) amended section 1834(e) of the Social Security Act to require the Secretary to designate organizations to accredit suppliers, including but not limited to physicians, non- physician practitioners and Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities, that furnish the technical component (TC) of advanced diagnostic imaging (ADI) services.
MIPPA requires ADI suppliers be accredited beginning on January 1, 2012 and thereafter to be entitled to receive reimbursement of Medicare claims for furnishing the TC of ADI imaging services to Medicare beneficiaries. MIPPA specifically defines advanced diagnostic imaging procedures as including diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and nuclear medicine imaging such as positron emission tomography (PET).
Third party insurers or companies may have adopted CMS’ reimbursement directives. Applicant facilities are encouraged to contact the insurance carriers in their area for the most accurate and current information to ensure compliance with reimbursement requirements at all times.
For more information on the CMS accreditation requirements, please visit the CMS website and the CMS Advanced Diagnostic Imaging (ADI) Accreditation Policy.
