62. . "The implication of this FAQ is that, for MU measures that include the 'seen by' verbiage, a diagnostic radiologist could conceivably choose to limit his/her 'seen' patients to physical visits and leave out teleradiology and similar services. There is a good amount of flexibility in the current language of this new FAQ. The key is CMS wants each EP to have a consistent policy on what services do and do not count as 'seeing' patients.” -Keith J. Dreyer, DO, PhD, Co-chair of ACR's IT and Informatics Committee
