-- The recently announced services are designed to help imaging centers address growing patient demand and workforce shortages in the healthcare industry, ensuring that medical facilities continue to offer a high standard of care to their patients. ContrastConnect will manage all aspects of virtual contrast supervision for its partners, including onboarding, compliance, and scheduling.

According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the healthcare industry is projected to face a physician shortage by 2034, with rural and underserved communities experiencing disproportionate impacts. This shortage creates operational bottlenecks for imaging center administrators who must balance patient access, scheduling constraints, and regulatory obligations without adequate on-site physician coverage, which may result in clinical backlogs that drastically reduce patient access to vital imaging services.
However, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has extended its 2024 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule, which permits physicians to oversee diagnostic procedures remotely via real-time audio/video technology. Originally implemented during the pandemic, the rule is now in effect through December 31, 2025, enabling facilities to maintain operations for contrast-enhanced studies with fewer service interruptions, often at lower costs and with extended hours. Experts say that rural hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, and the teleradiology sector as a whole will benefit the most from this rule, as imaging appointments will be able to proceed even in the absence of on-site personnel.
Imaging facility administrators interested in outsourcing their virtual contrast supervision needs can contact ContrastConnect, whose services align with CMS, ACR, American Society of Radiologic Technologists, and HIPAA standards. The company offers cost-effective, turnkey solutions that guarantee radiologist coverage, even on weekends and holidays, and will manage both clinical and administrative work to streamline operations; it will also supply imaging centers with the equipment required for real-time monitoring during appointments, ensuring compatibility with its technology.
To improve patient safety, ContrastConnect also employs multiple on-call physicians who are familiar with ACR’s contrast reaction treatment algorithms. In the rare event of complications, these physicians will have the means to collaborate with on-site staff in real time to manage any potentially life-threatening reactions from patients.
