Original Webinar Information
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is in the process of issuing a final rule on extending immunosuppressive coverage from three-year post-transplant to lifelong for eligible kidney transplant recipients, also known as Medicare Part B-ID. Eligibility for Medicare Part B-ID will begin January 1, 2023. This presentation will review what is currently known about Medicare Part B-ID based of the proposed rule, as well as highlight what requires further clarification.
- Describe the history of Medicare immunosuppressive coverage for kidney transplant recipients.
- Compare Medicare Part B-ID to previous Medicare Part B immunosuppressive coverage given the CMS proposed rule.
