Billing & Reimbursement
Ambulatory Cardiac (AECG) monitoring with the ReelECG is an easy-to-us diagnostic solution to meet your remote cardiac monitoring goals. Wearable AECG monitoring has proven to a far superior monitoring options as it is easily tolerable for most patients, superior ECG signal quality at a lower cost to healthcare providers. The ReelCardio V-Patch simplifies the monitoring processes and expedites the clinical results for clinicians to the final reports.
Not only is the ReelCardio V-Patch simple in operation, the billing process is similar to that of other AECG monitoring technologies. With the ReelCardio V-Patch, clinicians & medical facilities can now bill for virtually all forms of ambulatory cardiac monitoring modalities and qualify to expand billing & reimbursement structures.
