Your voice matters! a #CCTA-first strategy can provide important benefits to patients. Submit comments to CMSGov by October 5 to illustrate the dramatic & detrimental effect that continued reduction in CCTA reimbursement will have on patient care. bit.ly/3c2ZZGi

Was on ☎️ w insurance requiring prior authorization for a patient for nuclear stress test (clinically not suitable for CCTA) 😫 Was asked why not #YesCCT? (As now 1️⃣ line in their authorization pathway for stable chest pain) Never have I been happier to do a prior auth 👍

FACT: CMSGov payment (to hospitals) for #YesCCT is well below the cost of providing this test ACTION for #cardiotwitter: share with CMS how this is impacting access to patients & test availability 👏American College of Cardiology American College of Radiology Heart_SCCT for their continued joint advocacy
