  • Title: Ownership issues blurring the future of imaging centers.
    Author: Wagner M.
    Journal: Mod Healthc; 1992 Aug 17; 22(33):24-6, 28, 30. PubMed ID: 10119807.
    Abstract:
    Federal "safe harbor" regulations, rulings from the Internal Revenue Service and various state initiatives on self-referrals are setting the stage for a massive unraveling of physician and hospital-physician joint ventures that own diagnostic imaging centers. Such changes, especially an increase in corporate ownership of freestanding centers, could raise the competition for outpatient business to new heights.
