Abstract
In order for patients to gain the benefit of innovation in cardiac CT, it is necessary for coding, coverage, and payment to adapt to the novelty of algorithm-based healthcare procedures and services (ABHS). Appendix S to the CPT Code Set, the “AI Taxonomy”, enables creation of discrete and differentiable codes for reimbursement of ABHS which has been clinically validated and FDA-labeled. Payment policy in OPPS and PFS is evolving to take account of the unique opportunities and issues arising from the clinical adoption of ABHS.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography is a unique peer-review journal that integrates the entire international cardiovascular CT community including cardiologist and radiologists, from basic to clinical academic researchers, to private practitioners, engineers, allied professionals, industry, and trainees, all of whom are vital and interdependent members of our cardiovascular imaging community across the world. The goal of the journal is to advance the field of cardiovascular CT as the leading cardiovascular CT journal, attracting seminal work in the field with rapid and timely dissemination in electronic and print media.
