Continuing the Integrated Supply Chain Management Concept

Image
Core Principles of Integrated Supply Chain Management Integrated Supply Chain Management (ISCM) is built on a foundation of core principles that guide its implementation and ensure the attainment of sustainable value. One of these principles is the concept of the remote cause, which emphasizes the importance of conducting a thorough review of all established norms, processes, and procedures before initiating any activity. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of the environment in which decisions and actions are made. The ultimate goal is to achieve efficiency and optimization, resulting in what is known as Absolute Value. Understanding Absolute Value Absolute Value refers to the actual gain derived from an activity, decision, or action. It represents the life-cycle composite gain, which is directly correlated with three key aspects: Predictive Results : The maximum returns achievable through strategic planning and execution. Progressive Results : The accelerated rate of ret...

EBR Systems Seeks Reimbursement for Cardiac Device Use in Outpatient Care

  • EBR Systems has submitted an application for a Transitional Pass-Through (TPT) reimbursement program for its WISE CRT System with the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
  • The application targets outpatient care, aligning with the CMS’s suggestion that inpatients should qualify for the New Technology Add-on Payment.
  • The requirements are identical for both programs, providing EBR with strong assurance of their approval.

Special Report: EBR Systems has submitted an application to the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) seeking inclusion of the WISE CRT System under the Transitional Pass-Through (TPP) reimbursement program for outpatient procedures.

EBR Systems (ASX:EBR) believes its outpatient submission will be favorably received by the CMS, since the organization has previously endorsed EBR’s WISE CRT System for reimbursement through the New Technology Add-on Payment program for inpatients.

Since both applications meet the same requirements, the company believes they will be accepted into both programs, starting October 1, 2025, assuming approval.

The TPT reimbursement initiative aims to support hospitals in adopting innovative medical technologies—particularly those offering significant benefits to patients—that aren’t adequately covered under typical Medicare payment schedules.



The WISE CRT System

EBR’s WISE CRT System stands as the globe's sole wireless endocardial (implaced inside the heart) pacing solution currently utilized clinically for activating the heart’s left ventricle.

Stimulating the left ventricle internally is considered a possibly better and more anatomically accurate approach for pacing, which has long been an objective for businesses focused on cardiac pacing technology.

The cardiac device is approximately the size of a big grain of rice and may have removed the requirement for a pacing wire on the exterior of the heart’s left ventricle as well as the associated issues stemming from an external wire.

Complications may arise during insertion, usage, or removal and might involve infections, heart muscle injury, punctures, fluid buildup, and disruptions in coronary connections or openings.

Upcoming devices might tackle wireless endocardial stimulation for bradycardia as well as various non-cardiac uses.

In most markets, this gadget is still under investigation and has not been approved for sale yet, except in the United States where it can be purchased.

Enhanced financial support

The TPT program offers a straightforward reimbursement route for healthcare systems such as EBR’s WISE, facilitating increased Medicare payments over a period of 2-3 years to aid in the commercial launch of the technology.

John McCutcheon, who serves as both the president and CEO of EBR, highlighted that submitting the application represents yet another significant step towards ensuring widespread patient access to WISE across the United States.

"We are dedicated to making sure that hospitals and healthcare providers receive the necessary financial backing to provide our groundbreaking treatment for heart failure patients," McCutcheon stated.

Locking down the TPT reimbursement program will offer a distinct repayment route for hospitals, bolstering our sales force's initiatives throughout the US.
