On Aug. 16, the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published its FY 2011 Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System (PPS) final rule, approving new technology addon payments of up to $53,000 for the SynCardia temporary Total Artificial Heart (TAHt) through FY 2011. The decision is effective Oct 1 2010.
CMS stated in its ruling that, "Commenters supported our proposal to continue addon payments for the TAHt... We agree with the commenters that, for patients with biventricular heart failure, the TAHt continues to represent a substantial clinical improvement."
