ATS Needs Your Help – Recent Invoices for Bronchoscope and PFT Lab Spirometer
The ATS is looking for invoices for recently purchased bronchoscopes and PFT lab spirometers. These invoices will be used by the ATS to present practice-expense-cost equipment to CMS to help establish appropriate reimbursement rates for physician services using this equipment.
- Invoices should not include education or service contracts as those are overhead and cannot be considered by CMS for this portion of the formula and payment rates
- Invoices can be up to five years old
- They cannot be quotes and must be paid invoices
- Monthly rental invoices are not acceptable to CMS, as they are not representative of purchase prices
- We de-identify or you can de-identify when sending to us.
If you have made a recent purchase of a bronchoscope or PFT lab spirometer, please consider sending a PDF of the equipment invoice to Gewart@thoracic.org.
