As radiology leaders converge in Dallas, TX, January 30–February 1, 2026, for the ACR-RBMA Practice Leadership Forum, the financial realities of running a radiology practice are top of mind. With reimbursement pressures tightening, operational costs rising, and demand for strategic growth intensifying, radiology executives are seeking new ways to protect revenue, streamline operations, and confidently lead their practices into a complex 2026 landscape.
Between tightening reimbursement, growing payer scrutiny, staffing shortages, and mounting pressure to “do more with less,” radiology leaders are being forced to rethink how their practices capture revenue, protect RVUs, and scale sustainably. That’s why Zotec Partners is proud to connect with radiology executives and practice leaders at one of the industry’s most important business gatherings for radiology.
“At every radiology conference, we hear the same concerns,” said Howard Pingston, National Vice President of Radiology Sales with Zotec Partners. “Radiologists want confidence that their work is fully captured, accurately coded, and paid — without adding friction to their day or risk to their practice.”
What Radiologists Are Focused on Financially in 2026
Protecting RVUs in a high-volume, high-pressure environment
Radiologists are reading faster, handling growing volumes, and navigating more complex cases — all while documentation and quality expectations increase. Missed details can mean missed RVUs. Zotec helps ensure clinical work translates into accurate, compliant reimbursement through intelligent workflows that support radiologists without slowing them down.
Managing payer pressure and growing denial risk
As payers tighten rules around medical necessity, modifiers, and documentation, radiology groups are seeing increased denials and delayed payments. Zotec’s end-to-end RCM platform is designed specifically for radiology workflows, proactively identifying risk, improving clean claim rates, and accelerating cash flow.
Doing more with fewer people
Radiology practices continue to face staffing shortages across billing, coding, and AR teams. Zotec combines automation, advanced analytics, and specialty-specific expertise to reduce manual effort while improving accuracy — allowing practices to scale without scaling headcount.
Making sense of AI — without taking on risk
AI is everywhere in radiology, but many practices are unsure how it fits into revenue cycle operations. Zotec brings years of real-world experience using automation and machine intelligence responsibly within RCM — focused on accuracy, compliance, and measurable financial impact, not hype.
Improving patient financial experience without hurting collections
As patient responsibility continues to rise, radiology groups must balance collections with patient satisfaction. Zotec’s patient financial tools help practices communicate clearly, reduce confusion, and collect faster — all while preserving trust with the communities they serve.
