The US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) June 1, 2016 approval of the Gallium-68 PET/CT DOTATATE scan using NETSPOT® heralded a new age of nuclear imaging for neuroendocrine tumors in the United States.
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR A STATE-BY STATE LIST OF WHERE THE SCAN IS OFFERED
Locations of the Gallium-68 PET/CT scan have been submitted, in part, in response to a post on the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation’s Facebook page inquiring where people have had the scan around the world. Most of these in the United States will be the scan using NETSPOT®; others will be scans that are in clinical trial. For further information, please contact the PET/CT department or the Nuclear Medicine department at the institution. We will be adding to the list on a monthly basis based on feedback from the NET community.
If you know of other institutions that offer the scan, please contact the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation by phone at 888-722-3132, Eastern Time, or by email at carcinoid@carcinoid.org and share the name of the institution, city, state, and phone number for more information about the scan.
Before scheduling a Gallium-68 scan you should:
- Discuss this imaging test with your physician
- Obtain a referral (if needed) to the institution offering the scan
- Check with your insurance company to determine if the scan will be covered.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) granted NETSPOT® Transitional Pass-Through Status under an “A-code” (A9587) for drug reimbursement, effective January 1, 2017. What this means is that the different institutions doing the Gallium-68 scan utilizing NETSPOT® now have a reimbursement code to submit to Medicare/Medicaid and private payors. While it does not guarantee that individual patients will get insurance coverage, this is a very positive step for getting more institutions to offer the Gallium-68 scan.
