Medicare announces new payment rates for COVID-19 monoclonal antibody infusions
Effective immediately, Medicare will pay $750 to administer monoclonal antibodies to COVID-19 patients in their residence or temporary lodging and increase payment to administer them in most other care settings to $450 from $310 to better align payment with provider costs, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced yesterday. CMS is updating its COVID-19 toolkits and coding resources to reflect the new payment rates.
