Noting the significant administrative fees for the Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process of the No Surprises Act and onerous restrictions that have led to a nearly “non-existent” use of batching of disputed claims in radiology, the American College of Radiology (ACR) has sent formal recommendations to the United States Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury for addressing these issues.

In a provocative new article, radiology researchers discuss the impact of social determinants of health (SDoH) upon access to care and patient outcomes, and present strategies within the realms of radiology education, research, clinical care, and innovation that may help mitigate health-care disparities.
