... a Word With Bob LIVE!
As reported in Radiology Business, volume declines alone do not paint the full picture of radiology practices’ struggles during the pandemic, with imaging providers also seeing fewer complex cases. Our guest for "...a Word with Bob LIVE!", Timothy Carlon, MD, MBA, with the Department of Diagnostic, Molecular, and Interventional Radiology at Mount Sinai notes, “Reliance on case volume alone underestimates the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as there was a disproportionate loss in high-RVU procedures.”
For the study, Carlon and colleagues analyzed billing information from the first 33 weeks of 2020 across academic and community hospitals and standalone outpatient imaging centers. Researchers broke the data down into three separate periods: pre-surge (weeks 1-9), surge (10-19), and recovery (20-33).
Join Bob and Dr. Carlon on Thursday as they discuss the results of the study and patient outreach avenues for returning to “normal.”
