We Accept the following:
1. MEDICARE & MEDICAID
EECP® TherapyReimbursement
Patients should contact their primary care physician, cardiologist or local EECP® Therapy center to discuss eligibility for treatment and reimbursement coverage.
CMS – Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Section 20.20 (formerly 35-74) of the Medicare Coverage Issues Manual was revised to provide national Medicare coverage for external counterpulsation (ECP). The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services currently covers treatment with EECP® Therapy/ECP systems for patients who have been diagnosed with disabling stable angina (Class III or IV Canadian Cardiovascular Society or equivalent classification), who in the opinion of a cardiologist or cardiothoracic surgeon, are not readily amenable to surgical intervention because:
1. Their condition is inoperable, or at high risk of operative complications or postoperative failure;
2. Their coronary anatomy is not readily amenable to such procedures; or
3. They have co-morbid states, which create excessive risk.
Patients with stable congestive heart failure of ischemic etiology are covered under the aforementioned policy if they present with concomitant angina pectoris or angina equivalent symptoms. Coverage for congestive heart failure of idiopathic etiology is not currently provided under Medicare. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services provide additional information on reimbursement. You can search for both national and local coverage decisionson the CMS website, including information on the national coverage decision (NCD) for external counterpulsation.
2. PRIVATE INSURANCE
Third party commercial insurance carriers offer reimbursement for EECP® Therapy and have established coverage criteria similar to Medicare. Currently over 300 third-party payers cover EECP® treatment.
