NEW YORK, Dec. 22 Care to Care (CtC), a New York based leader in Radiology Benefit Management solutions, responded today to the 2009-2010 Executive Budget briefing. Care to Care has become known as the "next generation" in Radiology Benefit Management (RBM) solutions. "The New York State budget proposal is going to generate millions in Medicaid savings for the state over the next two years by requiring prior approval of certain high tech radiology procedures. It will also enhance patient safety," stated Dr. Michael Komarow, CTC Chief Medical Officer. "Prior authorization, managed by a qualified RBM, can both effectively control costs and ensure that diagnostic testing is done in a medically appropriate manner, without exposing patients to unnecessary radiation."
