Episode : Policy, Patients, and Participation

With Kit Crancer

In this special AHRA edition, Dianne Keen is joined by Kit Crancer, former President of RBMA and Vice President of Policy at RAYUS Radiology, to discuss the critical role of advocacy in shaping the future of radiology. Together, they explore how policy decisions, from Medicare reimbursement changes to site-neutral payments, impact both providers and patients, and why bridging the gap between legislation and clinical care is essential to preserving patient access. Through Kit’s journey from public policy to healthcare leadership, the conversation highlights the importance of education, collaboration, and the fight for equitable diagnostic mammography coverage.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into how policy reform, provider engagement, and patient advocacy intersect to strengthen the radiology community and advance care for all.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Advocacy in Action: How Kit’s journey from public policy to radiology leadership highlights the impact of legislative decisions on patient access, reimbursement, and the future of imaging care.

  • Access and Equity: The push to close gaps between hospital-based and freestanding imaging centers, ensuring fair reimbursement and preserving patient choice in where and how they receive care.

  • Championing Women’s Health: The ongoing effort to expand diagnostic mammography coverage, eliminate surprise costs, and advance early detection through collaboration and policy reform.

“Join the RBMA. Join AHRA. Talk to your legislators. Host them at your centers and show them what this profession means to the patients you serve. That’s how we make the biggest difference—not just in how we provide care, but in how we’re able to provide it.” – Kit Crancer
