This one-stop resource provides comprehensive information on coding, coverage and reimbursement for Abbott Neuromodulation medical products.

Coding and coverage are the pillars of reimbursement. Understanding these areas is important in order to assist billing experts when they submit for reimbursement.

Abbott annually updates coding and reimbursement information for hospital inpatient, hospital outpatient and ambulatory surgical center (ASC) settings, as well as physician rates. Click on our guides to easily look up CPT codes, ICD-10 codes, physician relative value units (RVUs), and Medicare national average reimbursement rates.

Most of the technologies that Abbott makes must have established coverage in order to be coded and reimbursed by payers of all types. Without coverage, a procedure will not be paid.

Most elective procedures must follow a process that allows providers to determine coverage and secure approval from a payer for a proposed treatment or service.

Not all procedures are approved, mainly due to missing information. Physicians and patients have the right to appeal a denial, which consists of both internal and external reviews.

Medicare is the largest public payer in the United States. Medicare is a public insurance provider with a rigorous approval process. All of their rules are posted for review.
