CRS was created to bring radiologists together and give them a voice in government, allowing them to relate problems and issues to legislative and regulatory policy makers. Members work together in a regulatory environment designed to encompass all areas having a potential impact on radiology in California, such as:  

• state legislation and regulations 
• insurance law 
• workers compensation 
• Medi-Cal reimbursement 
• working with Medicare carriers 

CRS members and their concerns are represented at the State Capitol in Sacramento. Some of the more recent issues have been:  

• Telemedicine 
• Physician Self-Referral Prohibition 
• Hospital Employment of Physicians 

The CRS is a chapter of the American College of Radiology (ACR) and serves as a focal point for interaction with other local component societies.  

Resources & Guidance 
Many members utilize the CRS as a resource for information and direction on legal and practice issues. We provide references to outside attorneys and consultants for specific member assistance.  

Quarterly Newsletter   
The CRS Bulletin is a quarterly newsletter designed to keep members abreast of Society activities, events, trends and information. It also provides an excellent, useful, and reliable review of local, state and national legislative activities.
