The First in a Critical Medical Device Issues Series

Transitional Pass-Through at 25 Years: Has it spurred innovation?

February 27, 2025
Arnold & Porter Webinar

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced its Medical Device Transitional Pass-Through (TPT) Payment Policy 25 years ago. Ever since, Arnold & Porter's Amanda Cassidy and John McInnes have been involved with it — both inside and outside of the agency. In their webinar, Amanda and John will discuss three key considerations and opportunities:

  • Key elements of CMS Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System's (OPPS) medical device TPT policy
  • Limitations of the policy, including the aspects that support or hamper innovation
  • Perspective on what a new, innovative medical device payment policy might look like in the future

Speakers:

Amanda Cassidy, M.P.P., Senior Health Policy Advisor and former Senior Legislative Analyst in CMS'; Office of Legislation

John McInnes, M.D., J.D., Counsel and former CMS Director of the Division of Outpatient Care and Acting Director of Practitioner Services. Former CMS-CMMI Medical Director.

We invite you to join the webinar and come with questions.
