BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP IN CRS
CRS was created to bring radiologists together and give them a voice in government, allowing them to relate problems and issues to legislative and regulatory policy makers. Members work together in a regulatory environment designed to encompass all areas having a potential impact on radiology in California, such as:
- state legislation and regulations
- insurance law
- workers compensation
- Medi-Cal reimbursement
- working with Medicare carriers
- Telemedicine
- Physician Self-Referral Prohibition
- Hospital Employment of Physicians
Annual Meeting
The CRS Annual Meeting , which takes place in
May is a two day event allowing radiologists to earn CME Credits. Topics
range from socio-economic and legal issues affecting radiologists to the
application of teleradiology. To encourage attendance at this meeting
the CRS waves the registration fee for its members.
Resources & Guidance
Many members utilize the CRS as a resource for information and direction
on legal and practice issues. We provide references to outside attorneys
and consultants for specific member assistance.
Quarterly Newsletter
The CRS Bulletin is a quarterly newsletter designed
to keep members abreast of Society activities, events, trends and information.
It also provides an excellent, useful, and reliable review of local, state
and national legislative activities.
