| pubmed:abstractText |
The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) sharply reduced technical component payments for private office magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomographic (CT) imaging. Although radiologists have no control over referrals, nonradiologist physicians (NRPs) can potentially make up for revenue shortfalls by self-referring more examinations. The purpose of this study was therefore to compare the effects of the DRA on the in-office MRI and CT practices of radiologists and NRPs.
