The ability to have radiologists work at locations remote from the patient exam site can be a great boon to efficiency and turnaround time.

Compliant billing for remote reading services is not always as straightforward as normal on-site billing, and radiology practices must be aware of the requirements of each payer, most especially those of Medicare and other government programs.
