The compensation of radiologists for professional services to patients has shifted in the past half century from a strong reliance on hospital billing and payment to a pattern of financial independence of radiology groups. The laws and regulations creating the Medicare program were instrumental in spurring the transition for many. With the advent of managed care programs, employer self-insurance for health costs and pending state and federal health reform efforts, radiology compensation patterns are likely to undergo further changes to make them compatible with new payment mechanisms.
在过去的半个世纪里，放射科医生为患者提供专业服务的报酬模式已从严重依赖医院计费和支付，转变为放射科团体的财务独立模式。创建医疗保险计划的法律法规对推动许多人的这种转变起到了重要作用。随着管理式医疗计划的出现、雇主对医疗费用的自我保险以及州和联邦卫生改革工作的推进，放射科的薪酬模式可能会进一步改变，以使其与新的支付机制相适应。
