Funding

Collaboration on registries among GI and surgical endoscopists performing EBMTs would enhance capture of the requisite patient data needed by CMS and private payers to justify reimbursement. Current surgical registries are expensive, are not designed for the outpatient setting, and may require modification if used for EBMTs. Additionally, stakeholders should work together to solicit sufficient research funding from federal, industry, and foundation sources to develop studies with optimal design, sample size, and long-term follow-up.
