Measures have been introduced to support diagnostic imaging practices providing Medicare-funded services under the Diagnostic Imaging Accreditation Scheme (DIAS) to continue to maintain their accreditation status during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The stage two Diagnostic imaging accreditation measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic represents excellent news for diagnostic imaging practices already accredited under the DIAS with an accreditation end date between 1 October 2020 and 31 March 2021.

Under these Stage II measures, diagnostic imaging practices who are unable to submit an application for re-accreditation because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be able to seek a 6 months continuation.

Excelsior Accreditation can offer assistance to those practices that have been granted the 6 months exemption.  As business is as busy as ever, the heavy investment of resources and time in DIAS submissions may distract from maximising operational performance.  As Medicare benefits represent everything to your business, don’t take any chances.

As the experts in DIAS, Excelsior Accreditation will make the process easy, efficient and cost-effective. Contact us today.
