Under CMS’ Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System Final Rule for fiscal year 2025, spinal fusions with aprevo will be covered, and the rule will go into effect Oct. 1, according to a news release. 

In 2021, aprevo earned the New Technology Add-On Payment by CMS and the transitional pass-through payment.

Aprevo implants are custom-made anatomically designed implants. Carlsbad previously shared data that found the devices enabled improvement in post-operative alignment.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
