Diagnostic imaging is one of the most regulated and scrutinized areas in the health care industry. Governmental bodies and payors are especially concerned about the potential harm to patients and increased health care expenditures attributable to over-utilization of diagnostic imaging, which is sometimes alleged to be driven by financial incentives.
Diagnostic imaging providers (e.g., independent diagnostic testing facilities (IDTFs), hospitals, mobile leasing entities, radiology group practices, and multi-specialty group practices) need to rely heavily upon and trust experienced and qualified health law attorneys to provide them with practical and reliable advice for operating successful, compliant businesses and mitigating regulatory risk. By hiring a reputable diagnostic imaging lawyer, imaging providers and suppliers can avoid significant problems and more easily navigate unique legal issues.
