About The Meeting:
For over 30 years, Economics of Diagnostic Imaging has been the premier venue in the US for helping radiologists succeed as the landscape for health care changes. 2020 is a very important year for us. Currently, there are threats of reimbursement cuts to pay for E/M codes and continued regulatory challenges from MACRA and MIPS. Perhaps more importantly, the next Federal election has the potential to upend the current practice of radiology. On the private side, corporatization of radiology as well as consolidation of insurance companies and hospital merger activity is re-creating the US health care market in the direction of oligopsony and oligopoly. Meanwhile, changes in IT, notably AI will also be important disruptors of radiology practice.
This is the premier US meeting for participants to learn from leading experts and from each other about cuttingedge issues that face radiology and more importantly to build solutions that will allow us to succeed in the face of these challenges.
