ANS Reimbursement Calculator

We have recently launched a reimbursement calculator and website, ANSReimbursement.com. This reimbursement calculator is a resource for hospitals, surgery centers, and physicians seeking a better understanding of reimbursement coverage for spinal cord stimulation procedures. It uses a formula that combines the wage index, procedure type, product price, and cost-to-charge ratio to produce an estimate of Medicare coverage.

Please visit us at  ANSReimbursement.com if you currently have an account.  If you do not already have an account, please register.

For more information, please contact Mark Barulich, Director of Sales Administration and Reimbursement Services at 972-309-8034 or Jim Kerins, Manager of U.S. Sales & Business Analysis, at 972-309-8030.
