STATESVILLE, N.C., June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Mamassist has signed a three- year contract with MedAssets to provide outsourced computer-aided detection (CAD) mammography to MedAssets' 22,000 healthcare providers nationwide.
Computer-aided detection (CAD- CPT 76082 and 76083) is the latest and most exciting advancement in mammography, bringing a higher level of assurance to radiologists and their patients.
While CAD improves early breast cancer detection, the drawback has been justifying the cost of the equipment in those sites doing fewer than 15 mammograms per day.
The Mamassist partnership with MedAssets allows doctors, clinics and hospitals to provide this important service without the expense of purchasing the equipment. In addition, the agreement allows the facility to earn a profit on every CAD.
Mamassist utilizes pre-paid, computerized, bar-coded distribution systems with a guarantee against loss. Every patient's film is logged into the system, verified for completeness, batched for processing and quality checked again before being returned. All patient privacy regulations are adhered to and the accuracy of the process is verified at least three times.
The Mamassist program allows doctors, clinics and hospitals to provide this service at a profit without the expense of purchasing the sophisticated equipment.
