Date

As previously stated in our Radiology Bulletin dated January 15, 2016 (Volume 38, Number 25), Diagnostic Site is a standardized medical imaging safety and quality program designed to assess and credential medical imaging equipment, personnel, and policies of facilities that perform diagnostic imaging services.

Enrolled MO HealthNet providers that provide imaging services are required to participate in this program. Each facility that intends to perform high-tech and/or cardiac imaging procedures for MO HealthNet participants must receive Diagnostic Site certification from HealthHelp by May 31, 2016.

Starting February 1, 2016, all enrolled MO HealthNet rendering facilities were temporarily "certified", allowing rendering providers time to complete their Diagnostic Site certification. Each rendering provider must complete their Diagnostic Site certification by May 31, 2016, or the provider will not be a choice as a rendering provider during the imaging PA process for MO HealthNet participants. It is each facility's responsibility to comply with the Diagnostic Site certification process as further described below.

  • For sites that have never been certified, enrollment began February 1, 2016.
  • For sites that have already been certified through HealthHelp's Diagnostic Site process for another payer, the current certification will fulfill the MO HealthNet requirement. (Certification renewal will be the same as the existing scheduled certification renewal process for that site.)
  • Providers will be responsible for reassessing their facility/equipment every two years. You will receive a 45 day notice prior to the expiration date. If your facility acquires new equipment after you are certified, you must log in and report your new equipment.
  • Hospitals providing imaging services are exempt from the DiagnositcSite certification process.

Providers can complete their Diagnostic Site certification online at: https://portal.healthhelp.com/radsitenet/registration.aspx.
