What’s new in the cardiovascular out-of-hospital setting?

Philips OBL portfolio

Low-risk PCI reimbursement approved for the ambulatory surgery center

CMS approved 6 percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) codes for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) giving physicians opportunities to safely treat patient populations diagnosed with PCI.

Learn more or contact a representative to begin your ASC journey.

Physiology and IVUS complexity payments approved for ambulatory surgery centers

CMS announced a new payment policy that would apply to certain cardiac code combinations in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) for FFR/iFR or coronary IVUS procedures.

Societies, trade associations, legislatures, and industry partners are supportive of these payments to improve patient experience and cost reductions but also to promote the safety of such cardiac procedures to be performed outside of the traditional hospital setting. 

State legislation updates

 

Pennsylvania has eliminated restrictions prohibiting cardiac procedures occurring outside of the hospital with Senate Bill 818. Cardiac procedures will now be allowed in ASC settings. 

North Carolina recently expanded Medicaid coverage as part of a new bill that will increase access to care for thousands of low-income residents, that will go into effect in mid-2025. As part of this bill, “…ambulatory surgical centers located in a county with a population larger than 125,000 [will be exempt] from CON review.”
