ACR Accreditation

American College of Radiology accreditation for imaging facilities. Required for CMS reimbursement of advanced imaging (CT, MRI, nuclear, PET, breast MRI, US, DXA, Mammo).

Modality-specific

• CT, MRI, Ultrasound, Nuclear, PET, Breast MRI, Mammo, DXA — individual ACR accreditation programs
• Physicist surveys every 3 years
• Image quality + dose + personnel credentialing reviews

Why it matters

Lapsed accreditation = revenue cliff on Medicare advanced-imaging reimbursement.
