HCB News: Will reimbursement to be a big topic at the upcoming SNMMI meeting?
MG: Yes. We are at a very crucial juncture with uncertainties regarding the path of recovery from the pandemic. Our members are deeply concerned about inadequate reimbursement, and our industry partners — who are developing innovative nuclear medicine procedures — need to be informed about the various efforts underway to ensure financial viability of their efforts. Therefore, reimbursement will certainly be a big topic at the upcoming SNMMI meeting.
