DENVER, Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Eon, a Denver-based healthcare technology company, offers free Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) compliance audits to qualifying lung cancer screening programs in the United States.
A 2015 Decision Memo by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services approved reimbursement for lung cancer screening for eligible at-risk populations. This decision requires eligible radiology imaging centers performing low-dose CT screening to submit certain required data fields for all screening tests performed to an approved registry. Currently, the only approved CMS registry is the American College of Radiology's (ACR) Lung Cancer Screening Registry (LCSR). The ACR has convoluted the data submission process by adding additional required fields, changing their data requirements, and not informing facilities when certain records do not meet eligibility requirements to be sent to CMS. For these reasons, there's a low rate of CMS compliance for lung screening programs nationwide.
