ACR Supports MARCA Bill Clarifying Radiologist Assistant Payment, Role and Scope of Practice
American College of Radiology (ACR)
The American College of Radiology supports passage of the Medicare Access to Radiology Care Act (S. 4624). "MARCA" calls for Medicare payment directly to the radiologists for services in which radiologist assistants (RAs) participated. MARCA would enable RAs to furnish services when delegated by and under the supervision of a radiologist in jurisdictions authorizing radiologist assistants to practice.
