Frequently Asked Questions
How does an Epidemiological Review and how is it used with coverage policies?
Epidemiologic information is used as a factual framework for decision making by health officials responsible for policy development, implementation and evaluation. Epidemiologists use descriptive epidemiology to assess the health of a population or community by identifying relevant sources of data and analyzing these data by person, place and time. Our epidemiologists use descriptive epidemiology to analyze policies as they affect your populations and, when available, analyze comparison groups to fully understand and evaluate coverage.
How often should medical codes be updated?
Why should we consider upcoming clinical trials when updating our policy documents?
Upcoming clinical trials are an excellent source of information of the direction of research and evidence around many medical therapeutics and diagnostics, whether it be upcoming pivotal trials or additional, exploratory research on existing techniques. Reviewing these yearly helps you to understand the direction your coverage determinations may take in future.
