“These denials can delay or prevent beneficiary access to medically necessary care; lead beneficiaries to pay out of pocket for services that are covered by Medicare; or create an administrative burden for beneficiaries or their providers who choose to appeal the denial,” the report notes. “These denials may be particularly harmful for beneficiaries who cannot afford to pay for services directly and for critically ill beneficiaries who may suffer negative health consequences from delayed or denied care.”
Incidentally, we performed a direct comparison study of people with low calcium scores (<100) and high scores (>100) and found that people with low scores have various abnormal early stages of metabolic heart disease or ischemia due to early onset of atherosclerosis, not all of them are “disease free”. On the other side, the higher scores patients do have higher percentages with later stage coronary artery disease, however many, especially older patients, developed collateral circulations even though their coronary calcium scores are very high! These patients live to their 70’s 80’s even to the 90’s of age! They all have much better myocardial functionality then those without collateral circulation diagnosed with obstructive CAD at younger ages! We were able to sort out all these cases in various stages from the earliest to the collateral formation stage which is the natural recovery stage! Further more, our technology detected MANY women with microvascular coronary ischemia, nearly ALL of these owmn tested "ZERO" on the CT Caldicum test! The owners of the CT calcium testing centers refused to publish the data and threatened to sue for their financial motives. That was a shame!
Coronary calcium scores are not diagnostic for myocardial ischemia due to coronary artery obstructive disease. Multifunction Cardiogram Technology is the only technology that delivers early detection and monitor treatment effectiveness/outcomes of ischemia, metabolic causes of heart diseases, and any causes leading to supply and demand imbalance at 1/3 of the costs. Our technology will make your nurses into super diagnosticians. Bill, you should consider supporting our technology for the nurses.
