AMDR President Vukelich says health care changes will likely have a positive impact on the industry. Reprocessed SUDs are reimbursed the same as original SUDs, and the increased use of group purchasing organizations may also boost the industry, as it will allow smaller facilities to get involved, MRG suggests. The industry also has plans to expand abroad. “The United States certainly isn’t the only country that wants to cut back on health care costs,” says Vukelich.
The list of FDA approvals for SUD reprocessing will likely continue to expand, as well.
“I would just say stay tuned, because I think we’re going to continue to show where reprocessing can help steer the ship,” says Matson. “We’re excited for what’s ahead.”
