This resource shows how a site-neutral payment policy would impact the codes for transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and stress transthoracic echocardiography. ASE opposes the integration of site-neutral payment policy, as it overlooks the higher operational costs and complexity of care needed for the provision of echocardiograms and could lead to a 76% cut to reimbursement for cardiovascular imaging services.
