Number Of Individuals

Readers may be aware of the need to improve uptake of HIV testing in health care-settings to reduce the number of individuals with undiagnosed infection who later present with advanced disease. Late presentation of HIV infection is associated with a poorer immune response to antiretroviral therapy, an increased morbidity and mortality with a resultant higher cost burden to health-care services. Individuals with undiagnosed HIV infection who inadvertently transmit their infection to others are thought to be responsible for more than half of new HIV infections in the USA.

Abstract This article describes the method by which U.S. health care services are valued and reimbursed, and the essential role practicing physicians, including breast imaging radiologists, and medical specialty societies play in this process. The American Medical Association has described the method for developing new and revised Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes as a 3-legged stool, with patient care as the seat supported by its legs: the CPT process (where the work is described), the Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC) process (where the work is valued), and coverage by Medicare (where the work is paid). Although the future direction of health care payment policy in the USA is uncertain and difficult to predict, CPT codes remain the foundation for the reimbursement of physician services. A working knowledge of the CPT process can be valuable to breast imaging radiologists, both for managing their practices at the current time and preparing them for future changes in payment policy.
