About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Curonix Provides Reimbursement Update on Neurostimulator Procedure Codes

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., July 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Curonix LLC provided an update on the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on July 13, 2023, that provides additional coding clarity and positive proposed Medicare reimbursement rate updates.

U.S. CMS Proposed Rule Update

On July 13, 2023, CMS published the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule (CMS-1784-P) (“CMS Proposed Rule”) that includes new work relative values for revised code descriptors for both Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) and Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) neurostimulation CPT® procedure codes.

This CMS Proposed Rule is a follow on to coding changes from the American Medical Association’s CPT Editorial Panel from February 2022, which updated a set of CPT codes related to certain neuromodulation products, including the Company’s Freedom® PNS and Freedom SCS systems.

The CMS Proposed Rule reviews updated work RVUs for Medicare reimbursement rate revisions in recognition of the physician work value performed within PNS procedures. These positive proposed changes would be effective January 1, 2024.

The CPT Editorial Panel revised several neurostimulation CPT procedure codes to provide clarity in the CPT codes descriptors and guidance reflecting the work required by physicians to perform PNS and SCS procedures with current and more advanced technology. This is an important step to provide clarity in CPT coding for PNS and SCS procedures, which will further advance patient access and physicians’ ability to treat patients who benefit from these procedures. The revisions reflect the physician’s total work involved in implanting a neurostimulator with multiple components, including pocket creation and the connection between the electrode array and pulse generator or receiver.

Curonix is pleased the AMA approved updates that reflect the entire scope of the physician’s work performed in the PNS and SCS surgical procedures. “Curonix is committed to advancing patient access to innovative therapies. The CPT codes descriptors clarification for PNS and SCS procedures provides additional clarity for physicians and their dedicated teams,” said Aure Bruneau, CEO of Curonix. “Additional real world clinical data continues to be published about the benefits of our Freedom products (Journal of Pain Research), and we remain committed to providing products to free those suffering chronic, debilitating pain.”

About Curonix
Curonix LLC is a medical technology company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative therapies intended to free patients from chronic pain and improve their quality of life. The Freedom PNS and SCS Systems use high-frequency electromagnetic coupling (HF-EMC) technology to power the implanted neurostimulator(s). Each neurostimulator comprises an electrode array with 4 or 8 contacts, and the electrode array is connected to a separate implanted receiver. An external rechargeable transmitter supplies the energy and data to the implanted neurostimulator through the skin. The device uses pulsed electric current to create an electrical field that acts on nerves to inhibit the transmission of pain signals to the brain.
