Good news for CT Scan procedures...hopefully the insurance companies will do the same..BD
Reversing a proposed decision issued in December, the federal government said Wednesday it would continue to cover the use of an increasingly popular procedure to detect heart disease.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said it would continue to cover the scanning procedure, despite its earlier misgivings over whether there was enough evidence to justify paying for the tests under Medicare.
The agency’s decision to continue paying for scans means their use is likely to continue to climb, according to doctors and insurers. Private insurers often follow Medicare’s lead on what medical procedures they will pay for.
