The importance of imaging centers, as diagnostic units for radiology treatments like CT Scan, MRIs etc cannot be overemphasized these days. Statistics prove that there has been an astounding increase in the patient expenditure index of spending on radiology diagnosis or imaging centers. However in the wake of this escalating imaging expenditure we have to keep in mind the requirement of proper prior authorization as a check on fraudulent references or irrelevant imaging examinations. Market research reveals that with effective prior authorization for imaging centre expenses, radiology cost be can be essentially brought down to a large extent ($ 60 million per year for a million member health plan).
