RadSite is an official accrediting body as designated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for MAP under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) of 2008.

“RadSite has always provided a true relationship-based process for working with our current and potential clients,” says Garry Carneal, RadSite president and CEO. “As we strengthen our leadership position in the quality field, we want to provide that same experience for MAP clients.
