Objective: To determine the number of pediatric radiologists in the United States using professional imaging claims of children between 2016 and 2023 in a private payor claims database.
Methods: From 2016 to 2023, using private payer claims data (Inovalon Insights, LLC), all claim lines for radiology professional services billed by radiologists were identified. Each claim was assigned a work relative value unit (wRVU) in accordance with the CMS valuation for the claim year.

Purpose: The consolidation of radiology practices by hospitals and private equity (PE) firms has accelerated in recent years, reshaping the landscape of radiology practice ownership. There is limited systematic evidence on the growing prevalence of hospital and PE ownership in radiology and its association with negotiated prices for imaging services. The aim of this study was to examine how commercial insurance negotiated prices for radiologic services vary by practice ownership structure, including independent, hospital, and PE-affiliated radiology practices.
