            <link>http://blogs.hitrss.com/OutpatientImagingResources/50ac4421-negotiating-for-better-reimbursement</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Negotiating higher reimbursement is nearly always possible, according to Penny Noyes, president and CEO, Health Business Navigators, Bowling Green, Ky. She presented Payor Contracts: Strategies to Analyze and Negotiate Improved Payor Reimbursement on October 21, 2008, in San Diego, at the annual conference of the Medical Group Management Association.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[The ACR is set to launch a new modular MRI accreditation program designed to meet the specific practice patterns of individual facilities. Sometime this month, the current general MRI accreditation program will transition to the new program&mdash;which includes brain, spine, musculoskeletal, body, MR angiography, and cardiac modules&mdash;opening the door to specialty magnets and modifying two of the&nbsp; physics tests for 3T MRI.
