XR-29 is the CMS-enforced standard developed by the Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA), a division of the National Electrical Manufacturer’s Association (NEMA). Also referred to as MITA Smart Dose, the XR-29 Standard identifies four key attributes of CT systems that are designed to help clinicians with dose optimization and management.
Starting January 1, 2016, Medicare will reimburse at a lower rate for certain diagnostic CT scans performed using equipment in a physician’s office or in the hospital outpatient setting that does not meet all four attributes of the XR-29 Standard.
