ICG Clinical Applications

Heart Failure 

• Most powerful predictor of short-term CHF events. Compared to vital signs, weight, clinical and patient assessment¹
• Independent predictor of long-term CHF events compared to BNP²

Hypertension - Double Your BP Control

• Doubles BP control (<130/85 mm Hg) in non-resistant hypertension³
• Improves BP control 70% in resistant hypertension⁴
• 44% lower cost for each mmHg of reduced systolic BP and 71% lower cost for each mmHg of reduced diastolic BP¹

  

 Dyspnea

• Changes patient diagnosis 13% and therapy 39% of the time⁵
• Compared to previous studies evaluating standard monitoring tools such as pulse oximetry and BNP, ICG testing had a more significant impact on therapeutic decision-making 

Reimbursement:

ICG has its own CPT code (93701) that was issued by the AMA in 2002. ICG is nationally-approved by Medicare for five patient indications including heart failure and dyspnea. In most states, the local Medicare carrier also covers ICG for drug resistant hypertension. Multiple private insurers such as Aetna, Tricare/Humana and some BlueCross BlueShield and Medicaid carriers also cover ICG. Reimbursement information for your state is available upon request.
