Uniform reimbursement standards are needed to protect patient access to algorithm-based devices and ensure future innovation, the lawmakers said.
Dive Brief:
- Advamed said it supports the efforts of a bipartisan group of senators who are pushing to establish a formalized payment pathway for algorithm-based healthcare services.
- The four senators wrote to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services last week to urge the agency to consider policies and processes that make payments predictable in its upcoming rulemaking cycle.
- The CMS currently covers medical devices that rely on artificial intelligence or machine learning on a case-by-case basis, the senators said. That approach creates “an inherent barrier” to the use of algorithm-based devices, they argued.
