Specifically, under this program, ordering physicians are to be required to consult a CDSM for the applicable Medicare advanced diagnostic imaging orders.
“We are pleased that our service, ezCDS is continuing to be a CMS qualified clinical decision support mechanism. We look forward to supporting the healthcare industry and to implementing standards of care with evidence-based medicine at the point of care, with our innovative solution, for the AUC program and beyond.
