Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs accreditation?
Imaging and other healthcare providers delivering the technical portion of advanced diagnostic imaging (ADI) services are required to obtain accreditation from a CMS-approved accrediting organization to qualify for reimbursement. It's important to note that this requirement does not apply to hospitals or critical access hospitals.
According to Section 1861(d) of the Social Security Act, an ADI supplier may include a physician, other licensed practitioner, or a facility like an Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (IDTF) that provides the technical aspect of imaging services. The “technical component” refers to the non-physician elements of imaging delivery, such as staff time, equipment usage, and administrative functions.
Section 1834(e)(1)(B) further specifies that advanced diagnostic imaging encompasses procedures like MRI, CT scans, and nuclear medicine imaging, including PET scans. It does not cover x-rays, ultrasounds, fluoroscopy, or mammography. However, mammography—both diagnostic and screening—is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Why is ACLS training important for imaging personnel?
Accreditation guidelines require on-site personnel to be trained to rapidly recognize, assess, diagnose, and treat adverse reactions to contrast material. This includes the ability to respond effectively during urgent medical events.
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) training goes beyond basic life support—it's a strategic investment in patient safety. ACLS-certified staff are equipped to handle life-threatening emergencies such as cardiac arrest, stroke, and severe arrhythmias with speed and accuracy. Their expertise can mean the difference between stabilization and deterioration during a critical incident.
Our certified BLS and ACLS instructors specialize in preparing imaging personnel to respond confidently and competently in the imaging environment, where contrast reactions can escalate quickly. This targeted training not only fulfills accreditation requirements—it elevates the standard of care and strengthens institutional readiness.
How much does accreditation cost?
Accreditation pricing is generally based on a per-unit rate ranging from $2,200 to $3,700. Some accrediting organizations offer discounts to facilities submitting applications for more than three modalities, as well as volume-based discounts for large practices.
