ContrastConnect has released a guide on choosing virtual contrast supervision providers for imaging facilities. The resource outlines what administrators should consider when hiring a third party.
-- With the CMS’ 2026 rule changes permanently allowing virtual direct supervision for level 2 diagnostic procedures, imaging facilities now have the option to integrate remote oversight models into their operations. ContrastConnect has released its latest guide to inform imaging group administrators of what’s needed for the model and what they must consider when selecting a third-party virtual contrast supervision provider.

Per ContrastConnect’s guide, the first thing imaging groups must consider is each facility’s virtual supervision needs. Virtual contrast supervision is advantageous for clinics that will benefit from full-service coverage or supplementary staff members that can support their existing team; these are typically sites that struggle with after-hours or holiday coverage and staffing issues that affect patient throughput.
Prospective clients should also research what features each virtual supervision platform offers. To comply with the CMS’ regulations, ContrastConnect’s guide says that imaging networks require infrastructure that enables real-time communication with radiologists and logs all interactions during procedures; administrators should partner with companies that can provide the platform and technology to satisfy these requirements. They may also want to consider providers with DFY processes for onboarding, discharge summaries, incident reports, and billing, as these features can reduce administrative burden.
Furthermore, the customer must verify that clinical oversight is being provided by licensed radiologists with knowledge of ACR contrast protocols and reaction management and that the virtual supervision platform of their choice can produce proof of their adherence to CMS, HIPAA, ACR, and state telehealth laws. ContrastConnect’s guide adds that a strong virtual supervision partner will also provide training and support for technologists and administrators, ensuring that all on-site staff are aware of remote supervision protocols.
Finally, ContrastConnect says that imaging groups should consider partners that offer scalability and flexibility in their contracts, including the ability to provide coverage across multiple sites, support for both temporary coverage and long-term contracts, and off-hour availability. The resource also notes that while remote supervision models are often more cost-effective than in-person staffing, pricing and ROI can vary across service areas, and imaging groups must be aware of these differences before partnering with a provider.
