The mission of the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute® is to establish foundational evidence for health policy and radiology practice that promotes the effective and efficient use of health care resources and improves patient care.

The Neiman Almanac

The Neiman Almanac 2.0 aggregates multiple years of data from varying data sources to create dynamic tables of both state and national figures on volume, spending, access and workforce of radiology services.

 

 

U.S. Imaging Cost and Utilization Trends (2004 – 2021)

Charts of aggregate imaging in the United States from 100% Medicare Part B claims. Select timeframe, imaging modality, focus body region or place of service for interactive reporting. Hovering over any point in a series will provide additional detail.

 

 

 

 

State Imaging Cost and Utilization Trends (2004 – 2021)

Charts of aggregate imaging by state from 5% Medicare Part B claims. Select specific states, timeframe, imaging modality, focus body region or place of service for interactive reporting. Hovering over any point in a series will provide additional detail.

 

 

 

 

Heat Maps of State-Level Imaging Cost and Utilization (2004 – 2020)

Maps show relative utilization or cost of imaging from 5% Medicare Part B claims by year. Fully interactive reports allow the user to click on a state to see data reported by imaging modality, body region, place of service, and patient sex and race. Clicking on any reporting variable changes the report to focus on that specific type of imaging or population segment.
