Medical Licensing and Certification: X-Ray Services, Portable

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.

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