CardioNet, Inc. Provides Update on Mobile Cardiovascular Telemetry Reimbursement

Randy Thurman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CardioNet, stated, "We are extremely disappointed that CMS has not established a national reimbursement rate for mobile cardiovascular telemetry and that it will continue to be regionally priced by HMS. CardioNet and other industry providers have now serviced nearly 400,000 patients nationally, of which a significant portion were Medicare patients. Since the unexpected announcement by Highmark on July 10, 2009, we provided CMS and HMS with substantial data that we believe justified a significantly higher national reimbursement rate and we will continue to work with CMS on a national price for 2011."

CMS also updated the national technical fees for event and Holter monitoring for the calendar year 2010. Event monitoring (CPT Code 93271) and Holter monitoring (CPT Code 93226) reimbursement will be reduced approximately 7% and 16%, respectively, compared to the 2009 rates.
