Medicare coverage for Home PT Monitor

Medicare coverage for Home PT Monitor

Hi Zipper

I just noticed that Medicare, after quite some testing, will issue a national coverage decision covering home PT monitoring for patients with mechanical heart valves. Should happen in early 2002.
While this may not directly relate to your situation it could be some good Ammo to present to Insurance Carriers etc.

Check out the AntiCoagulation Forum www.acforum.com and it will give you the Govt web site to get the full 22 page report on their study.

Hope this helps,

Andy Harriss
