More Definitions of PET procedure

PET procedure means a single discrete study of one patient involving one or more PET scans. 10A NCAC 14C .3701(7) states: “’PET scan’ means an image- scanning sequence derived from a single administration of a PET radiopharmaceutical, equated with a single injection of the tracer. One or more PET scans comprise a PET procedure.” Thus, the applicant’s reliance on the quoted CMS article as evidence to support its assumption that it will perform two scans per patient is not reasonable, since the article details specific types of cancer detection using specific types of radiotracers for which CMS previously required the submission of additional evidence before approving reimbursement for additional scans. The decision to end the CED requirement was specific to the types of cancer covered in the article. Therefore, the assumption of two scans per patient is not supported and is thus not reasonable.
