US PODIATRY REGISTRY

The US Wound Registry and US Podiatry Registry are part of the Chronic Disease Registry, one of the nation's largest QCDRs (Qualified Clinical Data Registries)... Recently, the U.S. Hyperbaric industry almost vanished overnight. The American Medical Association's RUC was reviewing the justification for the basis of the hyperbaric physician in attendance code, and without supporting data to back up claims of "our patients are ill and need these advanced services," the relative value rate for that service was set for a significant reduction. The US Wound Registry provided concrete, real world experience based data to support the hyperbaricists arguments and the value rates, while lower, where no where near where they were originally headed, averting a tragic payment impact.
