| Core Tip |
From 2013 to 2022, the volume of transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD)/patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure procedures in Medicare beneficiaries rose by 81%, with an average annual growth rate of 44%. While annual Medicare reimbursements paralleled this trend, per-case reimbursements decreased by 18%, from $1128.80 in 2013 to $770.21 in 2022. A significant decline in procedures was observed in 2020, coinciding with the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, followed by a sharp increase in 2021 and 2022. These results underscore a growing demand for ASD/PFO therapies, despite a reduction in reimbursement rates. |
