CPE Credit: 1.50
Diagnostic Development Primer is a comprehensive guide to navigating the complex world of approval pathways. This class begins by examining the vital roles that various United States government agencies play in regulating In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) and Laboratory-Developed Tests (LDTs). It provides a detailed description of the regulatory requirements for Class I, II, and III diagnostic approval pathways. A review of the internationally recognized Quality System Regulations (QSR) and how they impact the design and manufacturing of diagnostic products closes out section two. This primer wraps up by explaining the reimbursement process for Medicare, Medicaid, hospitals, and private payers, breaking down complex inpatient DRG codes and outpatient CPT codes.
