*Alphabet Soup:  *

*Upcoming Seminar to Address Medical Device Reimbursement***



*Understanding the maze that is the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS) requires an ability to be fluent in the language of reimbursement.
What's the difference between HCFA and CMS?  If you are in the hospital
setting, are you afflicted by the HIPPS or HOPPS?  For a laboratory test, is
it better to be reimbursed under the MPFS or CLFS?  Why is it that some
technologies fall under an existing AMA CPT code, some have to use NOC
codes, and others use HCPCS codes?  And how can you know if you can get an
add-on payment, a new technology payment, or a transitional pass through
payment?  *

*NCMD and CED will host a forum addressing these and other device
reimbursement issues on Wednesday, November 29, 2006, from 5:30p to 8:00p
(Registration from 5:00p – 5:30p), at the CED Entrepreneurship Center in
Research Triangle Park.  The event will provide insights into what Medicare
and other payers are thinking when they develop new reimbursement policies,
and how medical device entrepreneurs can impact policies to reflect that
value of their technologies*.
