Medicare Reimbursement and the Vascular Lab: An Overview

THE ICAVL DOES:

Attempt to stay abreast of payment policies as a service to the vascular community.


Communicate information to vascular laboratories about payment policies (through the ICAVL website, newsletter articles and other mailings to laboratories).


Employ knowledgeable staff to assist laboratories with basic questions about payment policies.


Provide, upon request, the same information to insurance carriers as we publish in the accredited laboratory listing on the website.

THE ICAVL DOES NOT:

Establish rules or regulations for the insurance carriers.


Have the authority to make decisions regarding implementation dates, extensions, etc.


Have responsibility for notifying providers of vascular testing services of payment policies.

The Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) receives numerous phone calls and e-mails each week from individuals who are concerned with their laboratory's compliance to insurance carriers' payment policies. Over the past few years, many states have adopted payment policy for the reimbursement of vascular procedures, requiring either credentialing of individuals performing examinations or accreditation of the laboratory.

A complete state-by-state listing of payment policies of which the ICAVL is aware can be found on this website under Payment Policies.


Tamara Sloper, IAC Marketing Director, is available to answer your general questions about payment policy and reimbursement. She may be contacted at 800-838-2110 or via e-mail at sloper@intersocietal.org.
