Why Choose ReeVue®?

  • Measures Resting Energy Expenditure (REE/RMR)
  • Determines caloric requirements
  • CPT code #94690
  • FDA cleared
  • Can be operated by any office staff
  • Unique printout to aid teaching

The REEVUE® measures the oxygen that the body consumes. Using this measurement it calculates a patient’s Resting Energy Expenditure (REE), commonly referred to as a Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). Physicians can screen for abnormally low metabolic rates and pinpoint the precise caloric intake required for weight loss, maintenance, or weight gain.  Applications include nutritional assessments required to treat obesity as well as obesity related diseases such as metabolic syndrome, sleep disorders, diabetes, and thyroid disorders.   Under strict laboratory protocol, the ReeVue can be used to measure basal metabolic rate (BMR).

ReeVue® Features

Direct Oxygen Measurement

ReeVue® by KORR directly measures the concentration of oxygen breathed out by each patient. The patient merely breathes through a simple mouthpiece as all the exhaled air is collected and analyzed. Because there is a direct correlation between oxygen consumed and calories burned (4.813 calories for every milliliter of oxygen consumed), an accurate measurement of oxygen consumption is an effective measurement of calorie consumption.

Mixing chamber Technology

A mixing chamber is considered the “Gold Standard” for Indirect Calorimetry.  In the past, this system has been complicated and expensive, making it only practical for ICU’s and research departments. KORR advancements in technology make this method feasible for the typical practitioner.
ReeVue® has been independently validated at the University of Southern California and Georgia State University. View validation results here.

Clean

Other Indirect Calorimeters require the patient to draw both their inhalation and exhalation through the measurement device located at the patient’s mouth. The air they breathe in will pass through the same mechanism as countless patients before them. KORR uses a one-way valve in the disposable MetaBreather® mouthpiece. This draws in fresh room air with each inspiratory breath and eliminates concerns about cross contamination. The disposable is thrown away and there is no need to clean equipment between each patient.

Self Calibrating

Adjustments for barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity are key to an accurate VO2 measurement. The ReeVue measures these parameters during each routine calibration cycle, then automatically compensates to standard (STPD) conditions.

Simple

The ReeVue® has a simple user interface that assists the operator from start to finish. No training or certification is required. It does not require a computer or software, and even the printer is optional. Everything you need is at your fingertips!

Reimbursable

Indirect calorimetry is CPT code #94690 and is covered by Medicare and most insurance providers.  For more information regarding the procedure code, diagnosis codes or Medicare coverage, click below.

Diagnosis Codes

Weight Loss

CPT codes must be accompanied by an appropriate diagnosis code (ICD-10).

Weight Management:

Medicare Nationally Covered Indications currently reads: “services performed in connection with the treatment of obesity are covered by Medicare when such services are an integral and necessary part of a course of treatment for diseases such as hypothyroidism, Cushing’s disease, hypothalamic lesions, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, diabetes, and hypertension.”

The AMA* cites that diagnoses codes supporting the medical necessity of Indirect Calorimetry include:

  • E88.81  Metabolic Syndrome
  • E88.9  Metabolic Disorder, Unspecified
  • G47.00 – G47.9  Sleep Disturbances
  • R06.02  Shortness of Breath
  • Z79.899  Long Term Use of Other Medications
  • R94.8  Abnormal results of function studies of other organs and systems (High or low metabolic rate)

Nutrition

CPT codes must be accompanied by an appropriate diagnosis code (ICD-10).

Nutritional Assessments

  • R94.8  High or Low Metabolic Rate.  Abnormal results of function studies of other organs and systems

Secondary to:

  • Z71.3 Dietary surveillance and counseling

Behavioral Therapy

  • G0447 Intesive Behavioral Therapy for Obesity (see pdf below for details)
