NOPR Reaches One-Year Milestone
The National Oncologic PET Registry (NOPR) recently marked its one-year anniversary. Since the NOPR launched on May 8, 2006, data on more than 40,000 PET studies have been logged into the registry at nearly 1,300 locations throughout the United States.
Developed in response to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS') proposal to expand coverage for PET scans that are currently ineligible for Medicare reimbursement, results from the NOPR data analysis will help guide future CMS coverage decisions.
Members of the NOPR guidance group are currently analyzing data for two manuscripts: one relates to the global project results; the other addresses methodology.
