Towards Health Episode 12: MedTech Year in Review
Don’t miss episode 12 of Towards Health, an H1 Podcast, “MedTech Year in Review with Omar Khateeb.” 2022 was a big year for medical device sales and the med tech industry.
In October, officials with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association its vision for a new pathway for the device review process that will be released in a proposal in the coming months. The article said that CMS would expand medical device coverage with evidence development that allows Medicare to cover technologies, including medical devices, on the condition that the product is used in clinical studies approved by the agency.
CMS laid out some of the principles the pathway is expected to include, such as that it will be voluntary and only be limited to devices that are relevant to the Medicare population. This was just one of the far-reaching changes for this industry.
