MassDevice On Call

Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the Senate’s minority leader, told President Barack Obama May 9 that they’ll refuse to nominate any candidates for the Independent Payment Advisory Board. Boehner also said the House will vote this week (again, for the 37th time) on repealing Obamacare entirely, The Hill reports.

The Indian government slashed reimbursement rates for drug-eluting stents by more than 61.5%, down to about $460 from roughly $1,200, aiming to give a boost to its domestic stents industry at the expense of the multinational players.

It’s the 2nd rate cut since October 2011, according to the Business Standard. India cut the rate of reimbursement for U.S.-made stents from 65,000 rupees (about $1,200) to 25,000 rupees (~$461), which is now the standard rate for stents regardless of origin, according to the newspaper.

The market for hip and knee implants is stable but mired in a low-growth stage, according to analysts who attended the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons conference in San Francisco last week.
