Vision & Sustainability

CIC is an organization committed to the advancement and improvement of the diagnostic imaging business. Through strategic partnerships in an evolving industry, CIC successfully adapts to our client’s unique needs and develops a viable and profitable model.

The Deficit Reduction Act (DRA), passed in 2005 has slashed diagnostic imaging reimbursement up to 50% in some modalities. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has seen an average reduction of nearly 30%--difficult to swallow for outpatient imaging centers competing with a differentiation strategy. The cost of radiology equipment has never been higher with the advent of 3T MRI and multi-detector CAT Scanners and reimbursement continues to plummet. How do outpatient centers compete with this obvious imbalance between cost-effective care and superior technology? CIC offers and implements strategies once a viable business model has been identified, specific to the unique needs of the facility. CIC’s long-term vision is to sustain the highest quality care during the post-DRA era and to offer a sizable return on investment for our partners.
