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

This bill amends the public health law to authorize radiologic technologists to perform radiography services under collaborative practice agreements with licensed physicians. A "collaborative practice agreement" is defined as an agreement between a radiologic technologist and a licensed physician that does not require the direct supervision of the physician when administering certain radiography services. The bill sets forth requirements for these agreements, including that they be signed, reviewed annually, and include consideration for medically compromised patients.
