Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) is a non-profit organization that represents 31 radiologic subspecialties from 145 countries around the world. We provide high-quality educational resources, including continuing education credits toward physicians’ certification maintenance, host the world’s largest radiology conference and publish five top peer-reviewed journals.

VIDEO: Impact of the 2023 Medicare cuts on radiology

Ed Gaines, JD, vice president of regulatory affairs and industry liaison, Zotec Partners, discussed the impact of the 2023 Medicare Fee Schedule on radiology at RSNA 2022 in Chicago last week. RSNA and several other medical societies say the cuts are not sustainable.

Ed Gaines, JD, CCP, vice president of regulatory affairs and industry liaison, Zotec Partners, discusses the No Surprises Act on radiology at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2022 meeting. Gaines works with RSNA on billing and Medicare issues and spoke in sessions at the RSNA 2022 meeting. Insurance companies have weaponized the No Surprises Act in an effort to cut their costs, he said.
