Data collection for Medicare Beneficiaries Receiving FDG Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for Brain, Cervical, Ovarian, Pancreatic, Small Cell Lung, and All Other Cancers
Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection
In the Decision Memo #CAG-00181N issued on January 27, 2005, CMS determined that the evidence is sufficient to conclude that for Medicare beneficiaries receiving FDG positron emission tomography (PET) for brain, cervical, ovarian, pancreatic, small cell lung, and testicular cancers is reasonable and necessary only when the provider is participating in and patients are enrolled in a systematic data collection project. CMS will consider prospective data collection systems to be qualified if they provide assurance that specific hypotheses are addressed and they collect appropriate data elements. The data collection should include baseline patient characteristics; indications for the PET scan; PET scan type and characteristics; FDG PET results; results of all other imaging studies; facility and provider characteristics; cancer type, grade, and stage; long-term patient outcomes; disease management changes; and anti-cancer treatment received.
