Policy, Patients, and Participation

How policy shapes patient access to imaging

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.
