Medical Licensing and Certification: X-Ray Services, Portable

Scam targeting U.S. Bank customers

DHS is aware of an organized impersonation scam that targets U.S. Bank customers. Impersonators are contacting customers by phone, posing as representatives from the U.S. Bank Fraud Department. They may claim issues with recently initiated wire transfers. The DHS DQA Provider Portal uses U.S. Bank for the payment of fees. Please be aware of this impersonation scam if you are paying fees through the DHS DQA Provider Portal.

In Wisconsin, all X-ray devices must be certified and registered.

Type

Initial

Description

A portable X-ray services certification is for groups that supply portable X-ray services in the Medicare program.

A portable X-ray is X-ray equipment that you can carry with your hands. Providers can move the X-ray equipment as needed. Often, portable X-ray providers bring X-rays to people’s homes or group living settings.

The Division of Quality Assurance (DQA), Bureau of Health Services, is in charge of surveying portable X-ray providers. They also work with the Radiation Protection section to investigate complaints related to these providers.

Duration

One year. Wisconsin Stat. §§ 254.31 through 254.45 requires registration of all X-ray devices each year.
