CRS MEMBER BENEFITS

CRS was created to bring radiologists together and give them a voice in government, allowing them to relate problems and issues to legislative and regulatory policy makers. Members work together in a regulatory environment designed to encompass all areas having a potential impact on radiology in California, such as:  

• state legislation and regulations 

• insurance law 

• workers compensation 

• Medi-Cal reimbursement 

• working with Medicare carriers 

CRS members and their concerns are represented at the State Capitol in Sacramento. Some of the more recent issues have been:  

• Telemedicine 

• Physician Self-Referral Prohibition 

• Hospital Employment of Physicians 

The CRS is a chapter of the American College of Radiology (ACR) and serves as a focal point for interaction with other local component societies.  

Resources & Guidance
Many members utilize the CRS as a resource for information and direction on legal and practice issues. We provide references to outside attorneys and consultants for specific member assistance.
