Can I submit claims to payers for a PADnet+ study?
In general, Medicare and private payers cover diagnostic tests when medically necessary. When the medical record reflects significant signs and symptoms of possible limb ischemia in a patient who may be a candidate for an invasive therapeutic procedure, a PADnet+ test is appropriate and in most cases is eligible for reimbursement. Local medical policies describing acceptable signs and symptoms for a study will vary by payer, so providers are encouraged to consult their local insurance providers to confirm applicable coverage and payment rules.
