This dynamic session is for individuals responsible for any portion of the charge capture, coding, documentation, billing, and account follow-up of radiology services. All the 2025 radiology coding updates will be reviewed in detail as well as other key items of concern related to imaging services, including but not limited to, new telemedicine visit codes, MR safety codes, supervision, reimbursement, and audit concerns. Radiology administrators as well as professionals involved in radiology compliance and revenue cycle will gain the information that they need to ensure correct coding and compliance for their organizations. It is recommended that appropriate individuals from Compliance and Finance be invited to ensure consistency and accuracy within the entire organization.

The presentation will cover the features and uses of two different Bracco products that each provide unique value to their areas of imaging. Vueway® (gadopiclenol) is the first true high-relaxivity macrocyclic GBCA approved for use in the U.S., at a low Gd dose of 0.05 mmol/kg. Varibar® (barium sulfate 40% w/v) is a suite of 5 related barium preparations specifically designed and approved for use in the modified barium swallow (MBS) examination – the only such barium products available. Varibar was used in the clinical validation of the standardized Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (MBSImP™©) protocol for evaluating swallowing disorders in adults.

This session will provide a comprehensive overview of the new measures and the essential steps needed to ensure that institutions are well-prepared for these changes and how to prepare for reporting.

In 2025, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will introduce new reporting requirements that will directly impact reimbursement for healthcare organizations. This educational webinar, hosted by Olav Christianson—author of foundational papers for CMS measure—will guide attendees through the complexities of these new requirements. The session will provide a clear, educational breakdown of the CMS reporting framework, exploring timelines, data elements, and the measure's calculation. Attendees will leave with a firm understanding of how to approach compliance without being overwhelmed by technicalities. This is a non-promotional, content-rich session designed to educate rather than promote specific solutions.
