Maximize Reimbursement with a Cost-Effective, Office-Based Solution
Minitouch is designed to provide high-quality endometrial ablation while optimizing reimbursement across multiple settings—including in-office procedures, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs), and operating rooms (ORs).
With higher reimbursement potential in office
and ASC settings, physicians can offer a profitable, patient-friendly alternative to hospital-based procedures.
Additionally, office-based procedures cost 52% less than hospitals and 42% less than ASCs, making them the financially preferred option for payers, physicians, and patients.
Reimbursement for In-Office Procedures: The Most Cost-Effective Option
Minitouch is optimized for in-office treatment, allowing physicians to:
Capture higher professional service reimbursement while eliminating facility fees.
Reduce overhead costs associated with hospital scheduling, anesthesia teams, and surgical centers.
Offer a more affordable option for patients, resulting in lower out-of-pocket expenses and increased access to care.
Medicare and commercial insurers recognize the financial benefits of office-based procedures, making them an increasingly preferred site of service.
Reimbursement for Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs)
Minitouch integrates seamlessly into ASC workflows, providing:
01
Competitive reimbursement
rates for ASCs while reducing overall facility costs.
02
Shorter procedure times,
allowing for increased patient throughput.
03
A cost-effective alternative
to traditional hospital-based endometrial ablation.
With the continued growth of office-based and ASC procedures, payers are increasingly incentivizing non-hospital treatments.
01
Comparable or better reimbursement rates than traditional ablation devices.
02
Shorter discharge times, reducing hospital resource utilization.
03
Lower costs for payers, making non-hospital treatments more attractive.
Reimbursement for Hospital Outpatient Departments (HOPDs)
While hospitals continue to perform endometrial ablation, payers are encouraging a shift away from hospital-based care due to cost concerns.
Hospitals looking to expand minimally invasive gynecological offerings can benefit from incorporating Minitouch as a cost-effective, outpatient-friendly alternative.
Reimbursement for Operating Rooms (ORs): A Less Preferred Model
Although Minitouch can be performed in an OR setting, it is most cost-effective in office or ASC settings. OR-based ablation is typically reserved for:
However, with the growing push toward non-hospital care, office-based and ASC procedures remain the most profitable and efficient settings for endometrial ablation.
01
Patients undergoing multiple procedures simultaneously.
02
Physicians transitioning from hospital-based care to office-based procedures.
03
Facilities integrating Minitouch alongside other surgical interventions.
Minitouch aligns with the healthcare industry’s
shift toward cost-effective, office-based procedures, providing:
With strong reimbursement potential across multiple settings, Minitouch allows physicians to increase revenue while providing a safer, more accessible alternative to traditional hospital-based ablation.
