13. SIR Policy on Exclusive Contracts and Carve-outs for Interventional Radiology Services
SIR recognizes the practice of exclusive contracting between hospitals and radiology groups for radiology services is long-standing and that such contracts can be mutually beneficial to both parties. However, if the exclusive contract provides a carve-out or excludes interventional radiology services (e.g., peripheral interventions, musculoskeletal interventions, non-invasive testing) so that non-radiologists may perform them, independent practice interventional radiologists with appropriate privileges at the facility should be afforded the same opportunity to provide these services.
