Résumé
To analyze the financial impact following implementation of a hybrid Angio-CT system at a tertiary care academic medical center. Aggregate case types and volumes were compared 24 months before and 12 months after a hybrid Angio-CT system replaced a traditional interventional C-arm angiography suite at an academic medical center. Procedure revenues from this 36-month study period were derived from five payors mixes (Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, out-of-pocket and managed care program) and Medicare-rate adjusted to each individual payor types. Average case volume per month increased 12% in the hybrid Angio-CT suite when compared to the previous traditional angiography suite (P < 0.05). The variety of IR procedures in the hybrid Angio-CT suite also expanded to include more complex interventional radiology and interventional oncology procedures; the breadth of cases performed in the hybrid Angio-CT suite were associated with CPT codes of higher rates (average CPT value/case increased from $2,334.61 to $2,567.25). The estimated average annual revenue of the hybrid Angio-CT suite increased 23% as compared to previous traditional angiography suite. A hybrid Angio-CT system is a financially feasible endeavor at a tertiary care academic medical center that facilitated higher complexity procedure codes and increased procedure-related revenue.
