Diagnostic Imaging Services Must Follow Patient Reporting Obligations Under New PA Law

January 8, 2019

The Pennsylvania Patient Test Result Information Act requires that providers of diagnostic imaging services identify any “significant abnormality” in their results and directly notify the patient, or the patent’s designee, of the completed test, its review and its delivery to the ordering health care practitioner.

The Act was signed into law on October 24, 2018 and is scheduled to take effect on December 23, 2018.
