What is the Medicare reimbursement rate for cardiac stent surgery costs?

Medicare reimbursement rates for cardiac stent surgery vary depending on the program and specific circumstances. First, the cost of a domestically produced drug stent as a material cost is usually reimbursed by Medicare at 50%. For hospitalized procedures and related medical expenses, Medicare usually covers 85% to 90% of the cost. It is worth noting that health insurance reimbursement is possible even if the cardiac stent surgery is performed off-site, with the reimbursement rate adjusted according to different levels of hospitals: 40% for county hospitals, 35% for city hospitals, and 30% for provincial hospitals. As for the number of stents to be reimbursed, it is generally based on about 4 times the average salary of employees in the previous year in the patient's city. Therefore, please consult your local social security organization for accurate information on the specific reimbursement rate.
