Physicians are finding imaging machines to be worthy sources of ancillary revenue, but health plans and governments are tightening the reins on scans in the name of cost control.
Ancillary revenue has become a key to financial survival for many physicians in a world of declining reimbursements. For some larger groups, the strategy has revolved around MRI machines and other imaging equipment -- high-ticket items that carry the potential for profitability.
