HB 515 amends Mississippi law to allow radiologist assistants to communicate a radiologist's preliminary or final imaging interpretation directly to other healthcare providers treating a patient. This change specifically permits assistants to share these interpretations (not their own observations) after the radiologist has reviewed the images. The bill directly affects radiologist assistants and the healthcare providers who receive these communications, streamlining information flow for patient care. It does not grant radiologist assistants diagnostic authority or allow them to interpret images independently, as they remain prohibited from making diagnoses or prescribing treatments under current law. The policy change takes effect July 1, 2026.
