Cardinal Health representatives understand local and national standards for reimbursement. They work with customers to develop the appropriate coding and language to maximize reimbursement. Cardinal Health’s PET Foundations™ program offers a particularly thorough reimbursement analysis program to PET customers.

Cardinal Health also partners with others in providing up-to-date reimbursement information. For more information visit: The Society of Nuclear Medicine.

Note: The Society of Nuclear Medicine has published a very useful spreadsheet (available in both .pdf and Excel formats) listing all the CPT/HCPCS codes used in Nuclear Medicine, their descriptions, APC assignment and payment rates under HOPPS 2004. Find this spreadsheet at: http://interactive.snm.org/index.cfm?PageID=1984&RPID=273
