Due
to the recent announcement by UnitedHealth Group requiring all
freestanding facilities and physician offices performing nuclear
cardiology, nuclear medicine, and PET procedures to apply for
accreditation by March 1, 2008, the ICANL is expecting a large
volume of applications.
Laboratories
are encouraged to submit their applications early in order to
be in compliance. In an attempt to stagger the influx of applications,
and allow the Commission to offer the best, most efficient service
possible to laboratories, the following incentive is being offered
to all* first-time applicant laboratories who submit by the
upcoming October deadline:
