Itamar Medical Ltd. commented on the recent release of the 2021 Physician Fee Schedule from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This Fee Schedule represents the third year of a four-year proposed plan to reevaluate reimbursement in home sleep apnea diagnostic codes. The final changes will become effective on January 1, 2021. The 2021 Fee Schedule further widens the gap between the CPT-95800 used with Itamar Medical’s WatchPAT device of approximately $163, a -3.5% decrease from 2020, compared to CPT-code 95806 used with competitive Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT) devices of approximately $95, a -20% decrease from 2020. In the 2021 Fee Schedule, the professional RVUs of both 95800 and 95806 were slightly increased (about 1%), but for the first time in the last three years of adjustments, have CPT 95800 Technical Component RVUs increased by 9.5% while CPT-95806 technical RVUs were significantly reduced (18.8%). In addition to the RVUs, the rates were further impacted by the broader reduction in the CMS conversion factor from 36.09 to 32.41 resulting in the final fee schedule rates.
