Patients Win with Immediate Avastin Payment Reversal
Following an aggressive joint campaign by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Retina Specialists, the Macula Society and the Retina Society, CMS indicates it will no longer recognize code Q2024 for payment of office-based claims, and practitioners are directed to return to their previous reporting practice for small intraocular doses of Avastin. CMS had implemented Q2024 with a payment of $7 on Oct. 1, creating a significant gap in Avastin payment for ophthalmology. Click here for more details.
