At the moment we only have this funded for GP patients [and we bill the CCGs for the tests they order as a special price to cover the cost of the test, rather than their usual block price they still insist on for other tests].

Subject: NT-ProBNP use in acute setting

Hi

 

Would anyone like to share their experience of implementing NICE guidance CG187 (Acute heart failure: diagnosis and management)? I am interested in the number of BNP or NT-proBNP requests, the turnaround times expected by AE/EAU, and whether there is any data indicating savings from echo’s (if any!).

 

Thanks   

 

Anna Sanders
