Authorizes radiologic technologists to perform radiography services under collaborative practice agreements.

New York A11494 amends the public health law to authorize radiologic technologists to perform radiography services under collaborative practice agreements. These agreements, between a radiologic technologist and a licensed physician, do not require direct supervision by the physician when administering certain radiography services. The bill sets forth requirements for these agreements, including the need for the radiologic technologist to maintain an intravenous contrast administration certificate and be trained to handle adverse events.
