Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
During prior rulemaking for burden reduction initiatives (84 FR 51732), CMS revised the requirements for portable X-ray orders removing the requirement at 42 CFR 486.106(a) that orders for portable X-ray services be written and signed. Additionally, we also replaced the specific requirements related to the content of each portable X-ray order with a cross-reference to the payment requirements at 42 CFR 410.32, which also apply to portable X-ray services. These changes simplified the ordering process for portable X-rays and promotes the use of more efficient ordering methods, such as electronic orders resulting in a significant change of burden. This has resulted in a reduction of 532,633 burden hours and $27,650,289 (see 84 FR 51765).
