SCAI Applauds CMS Decision to Continue Coverage of Cardiac CT Scans
Date:3/14/2008
ohn McB. Hodgson, M.D., FSCAI, past SCAI president. "In the past year many clinical trials have documented the accuracy, prognostic value, and cost-effectiveness of CTA for rapidly diagnosing coronary artery disease. The CMS decision will allow further scientific study to continue at an even more rapid pace, and strengthens our position that this technology should be available for all patients."
