Data and Surveys

RBMA supports the radiology business management profession by collecting data and reporting statistics on accounts receivable, mini-Surveys, radiology Hot Topics polls, and alternative collection methods. The purpose is to provide information for utilization, outcome measurement, productivity and financial management purposes.

Hot Topics

Radiology Hot Topics is a bi-weekly poll that each member is invited to participate in. Each online poll consists of one question on a topic of general interest; respondents are directed to current results when they submit their response. Final results are posted on the RBMA website in PDF format.

If you have a question you would like to ask the RBMA membership, email your submission to info@rbma.org. Each submission should be one question with closed-ended, single- or multiple-choice response options.

Question of the Week

When the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) of 2014 was signed into law, it included text that required referring physicians to consult appropriate use criteria (AUC) through a clinical decision support (CDS) mechanism before ordering advanced imaging services (MRI, CT, PET) for Medicare patients. After numerous delays, CDS will be implemented with a testing year beginning Jan. 1, 2020.
