Since its inception, HRS and its predecessor organizations have been able to provide the electrophysiology (EP) community the much needed assistance in various aspects of their professional activities. This work has historically been done by the advocacy working group or more recently the Health Policy and Reimbursement Advocacy Committee.
What Clinics Can Do to Protect the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cardiac Arrhythmias Scope of Reimbursement Cuts The release of the annual Proposed Medicare Physician Fee Schedule is an event that business leaders and caregivers in healthcare anxiously anticipate.
The field of electrophysiology (EP) has benefited from numerous seminal innovations and discoveries that have enabled clinicians to deliver therapies and interventions that save lives and promote quality of life.
In electrophysiology, innovation is king, but it is often incremental, and it almost always lacks rationale, comprehensive clinical documentation and relevance for hospitals that try to balance the increasing costs of new technology with increasing demand and reimbursement that just can’t keep pace.
1 A growing patient population, increase in electrophysiology procedures, and rapid innovation in the field have led to elevated government scrutiny on cost, resulting in drastic cuts for reimbursement for common AF procedures. Reductions in reimbursement are making it difficult to retain and attract heart rhythm specialists.
It might have been graduation time in many parts of Boston last weekend, but an electrophysiology family reunion was taking place in the city’s Seaport district, bringing the latest in EP science, technology, and patient care.
Electrophysiology (EP) fellowship programs are crucial in shaping the careers of future electrophysiologists. Moreover, the increasing emphasis on clinical productivity for reimbursements may deter some from pursuing research.
Inevitably, given its fledgling status, regulation and reimbursement is still playing catch-up, though 2023 saw some important developments in this regard. Figure 2: VC funding for AI in Medical Imaging vs. ECG The Missing Piece In a similar vein, the reimbursement framework for AI-in ECG is very much in its infancy.
Pulsed Field Awakening – Pulsed field ablation was the clear electrophysiology highlight of 2024 so far, after dominating conversations at HRS 2024 , producing mounting evidence of its advantages, and scoring its first FDA approval.
Results The primary analysis demonstrated that treatment with the WiSE-CRT system is likely to be cost-effective over a lifetime horizon at a QALY reimbursement threshold of £20 000, with a net monetary benefit (NMB) of £3781 per QALY. Outcomes were quantified in terms of quality-adjusted life year (QALY) differences.
Increases speed of reimbursements through a sophisticated automated billing function This is a useful and comprehensive information management system that cardiology clinics can consider in their small practice. Furthermore, relevant prior notifications are also included!
All About Cardiac Remote Patient Monitoring Software Comprehensive healthcare for rhythm, heart failure, and hypertension requires the ability to monitor a heart’s condition. In response, an increasing number of clinics have chosen to rely on cardiac remote patient monitoring ( RPM ) software.
Implementing the 2023 Expert Consensus Statement: A Strategic Roadmap for Device Manufacturer Sales Representatives In the ever-evolving landscape of cardiac device care, keeping pace with guidelines and policies can often seem daunting.
