Change to Radiology Multiple Imaging Reduction Policy Effective Nov. 16, 2013

Effective for claims processed on or after Nov. 16, the Radiology Multiple Imaging Reduction Policy will change to align with CMS policy. The Radiology Multiple Imaging Reduction Policy (RMIR) will change regarding administering of the technical component reduction for secondary and subsequent diagnostic imaging services when provided on the same member during the same session by the same group practice – which will be identified as all physicians or health care professionals reporting the same federal tax identification number. Until this change takes effect, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan applies an imaging reduction to the technical component of secondary and subsequent eligible diagnostic imaging services provided to the same patient during the same session by the same physician or health care professional.
