There’s No Time to Lose - Keep Your Medicare Eligibility Through DIAS Compliance

On the 23rd of March 2020, the legislation pertaining to DIAS was updated. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has caused considerable disruption to the daily running of medical imaging practices, there has been no hold placed on DIAS accreditation processes. Here’s some insight into DIAS compliance from our professional accreditation team.

Changes to DIAS Compliance

DIAS Standards have not been changed, but updates to legislation have changed how the scheme is administered. Failing to comply can result in a practice losing eligibility status and the Medicare benefits this entails, which makes it vitally important to meet new compliance regulations.

So, what is the main change? Essentially, LSPN holders need to show that they are actively maintaining DIAS standards.

Practices must demonstrate that they are continually reviewing and maintaining the equipment and the policies and procedures that are followed by all staff – not just reviewing once every four years in time for accreditation review.

Here’s How to Make DIAS Compliance Easier

Of course, this places an additional burden on medical imaging practices, which are already under strain in current conditions to meet patient needs.
