About ECP referral service
When it comes to their health, many people often look for another way to do something whether its something simple like a change in diet, or a more serious decision such as an alternative way to treat a condition like ischemic heart disease. When they find that a different path has been found, its often difficult to locate the people or facilities that can offer them these alternatives.
Since our website came on line weve received hundreds of queries from patients and doctors regarding ECP and the availability of treatment from all over the US. This has shown us that there is a growing interest in ECP and the benefits that can be derived from this time tested and scientifically proven treatment modality. Enabling patients in need of information and treatment to find ECP treatment and helping doctors and facilities reach these people is the reason MSO is bridging this gap. With the ECP Referral Service, we hope to make treatment easier to find and to help spread the growing awareness of ECP to both physicians and patients.
The ECP referral service we offer will ensure that patients or family members interested in ECP can be referred to a treatment center that is close and convenient to their homes. We also offer the physician with ECP in their offices or ECP centers in hospitals and clinics an economical way of reaching these prospective patients and spreading the message. Physicians and hospitals who are investigating offering ECP in their practices or facilities can find the information they need to better understand ECP and to help them set up their treatment center.
Medicare recognizes the value of ECP and has increased reimbursement for this treatment steadily every year. Nationally, the average increase in Medicare reimbursement for ECP from 2002 to 2003 was a substantial 35% the largest reimbursement increase for a treatment in cardiology. The granting of the FDA clearance for the treatment of CHF in 2002 demonstrates the growing importance of ECP in managing ischemic heart conditions.
Benefits to patients
For the patient, ECP can offer an alternative to those patients who have reached the end of the road as far as invasive medical procedures are concerned, patients who no longer respond to medications or patients who do not wish to or are nervous of undergoing surgical or invasive cardiac procedures.
Benefits to physicians and ECP treatment centers.
