UDI2Claims: Planning a Pilot Project to Transmit Identifiers for Implanted Devices to the Insurance Claim.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:In response to problems with the current postmarket surveillance of medical devices, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration mandated device labelers to include a unique device identifier (UDI), composed of a device identifier (DI) and production identifier. Including the DI in insurance claims could be a potent method to monitor implanted devices, yet implementation has lagged because of questions of benefit and operational concerns. METHODS:To illustrate the potential benefit of including DIs in claims, rates of 90-day adverse events after implantation using an electronic health record (EHR) were compared with the EHR plus claims, which capture utilization outside that EHR's health system. To explore operations, we planned a pilot project to transmit the DI of implanted devices from the point of care to the claim at two provider/payer pairs. RESULTS:By querying claims plus EHR, estimated rates of patients with potential adverse events were as much as 3.75 times higher. For our pilot, our multistakeholder team identified and resolved the following five challenges: (1) capturing the DI at the point of care; (2) selecting a location for the DI on the claim form; (3) transmitting the DI to the claim form; (4) analyzing the claim forms received by the payer; and (5) verifying the quality of the transmitted information. CONCLUSIONS:Including DIs on claims could allow more complete data capture of adverse events for implanted devices than the EHR data. We overcame challenges in transmitting the DI to the claim with attention to planning and multistakeholder involvement.
