Bracco Diagnostics sees opportunity in the latest decision by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services to reimburse more for PET procedures in 2010. The final published rule maintains the assignment of all cardiac PET CPT codes to APC 0307 – PET myocardial perfusion imaging – with a 24% increase in payment for the combined radiopharmaceuticals and procedures from $1,156.87 this year to $1,432.87 next.
