This ensures that facilities can maintain compliance with ACR and CMS guidelines while optimizing staff availability and reducing operational costs.
Tether Supervision sets the industry standard by offering real-time virtual oversight, utilizing board-certified radiologists and physicians, and integrating cutting-edge technology for seamless communication and compliance monitoring. Unlike traditional on-site supervision, remote supervision increases efficiency, ensures uninterrupted coverage, and enhances patient safety without requiring an on-site presence.
Tether Supervision stands out by offering both virtual and on-site contrast supervision, while Contrast Connect is limited to virtual-only services. Tether also provides contrast reaction kits, real-world case studies, and a fully transparent pricing model ( as low as $45/hour), ensuring clients receive the highest level of care, compliance, and reliability.
Tether Supervision provides clear, upfront pricing as low as $45/hour, allowing facilities to budget confidently.

Contrast Connect does not publicly disclose pricing.
Tether Supervision employs board-certified radiologists and physicians, with 10,000+ hours of contrast supervision experience collectively, ensuring compliance with HIPAA, ACR, CMS, SOC 2, and HITRUST standards. Contrast Connect is staffed by radiology residents and does not disclose experience metrics.
Tether Supervision offers a streamlined, user-friendly onboarding process with hands-on support, allowing for easy scheduling and workflow integration. All required hardware and software will be shared by Tether. The only thing you need is high-speed internet access. Additionally, Tether provides on-site support and training, making implementation smoother for facilities. Contrast Connect utilizes a self-serve portal and does not include any on-site training.
Tether Supervision and Contrast Connect both adhere to policies from HIPAA, ACR, CMS, SOC 2, and HITRUST compliance protocols, ensuring safe and secure provision of supervision services. However, Tether holds itself to a trusted and conservative standard, ensuring physician supervision throughout the entirety of the procedure and limiting the number of centers a supervising physician may oversee at any given time.
