AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes Medicare rules for advanced imaging services, such as scans ordered for patients, that require doctors to consult approved computer decision-support tools when ordering. Starting January 1, 2026, the decision-support tools, rather than the imaging claims, would report ordering information to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Imaging ordered as part of clinical trials, by small practices of 15 or fewer ordering professionals, or by rural practices in shortage areas would be exempt, as would mammograms and certain CT lung cancer and colon screenings. The Secretary would calculate a compliance rate for each ordering professional, label those below a set rate as low compliant, and report to Congress every 5 years starting by 2031 on compliance and possible ways to improve it.
