EXALT™ Model D

EXALTTM Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope / Economic Impact

 

A cost-effective alternative to reusable duodenoscopes

The clinical data of the EXALT Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope is clear – and so is the economic impact on your facility and your practice. Model D can be an economically viable, cost-effective solution due to:

  • Separate Medicare device reimbursement for outpatient procedures
  • Elimination of reprocessing costs associated with reusable duodenoscopes
  • Reduction of operational costs due to ineffective reprocessing and decreased infection risk 
   

Cost coverage thanks to Medicare device-specific reimbursement

Boston Scientific aims to make EXALT Model D an economically viable option for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures, and we continue to lead the effort to secure appropriate coding and payment to facilitate patient access to ensure Medicare beneficiaries have access to single-use duodenoscopes.

Avoid the hidden costs of reprocessing

Properly reprocessing a reusable duodenoscope includes more than 100 distinct steps. From pre-cleaning to high-level disinfection to drying, each labor-intensive step introduces the opportunity for contamination – and more costs. With EXALT Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope, you can drive down operational costs by reducing infection risk due to ineffective reprocessing and enabling staff to focus on other tasks.
