DEDICATED ACCESS AND SUPPORT FOR YOUR PATIENTS

Passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2023 has secured separate payment status in ASCs for OMIDRIA through January 1, 2028.

HOPD separate payment status is secured for OMIDRIA starting January 2025 through January 1, 2028.*

OMIDRIA now has separate payment status in ASC's through January 1, 2028

OMIDRIA has a unique billing code: J1097
Phenylephrine 10.16 mg/mL and ketorolac 2.88 mg/mL ophthalmic irrigation solution, 1 mL.1

OMIDRIA is reimbursed per mL; therefore, providers should always use 1 mL as the billing unit and bill for 4 units when OMIDRIA is utilized.

*Section 4135(b) CAA provides for both a transitional period (December 29, 2022, to December 31, 2024) and a specified period (January 1, 2025, to January 1, 2028) during which nonopioid pain management drugs such as OMIDRIA will qualify for separate payment in the ASC setting.

ASCs use this unique permanent HCPCS code to bill CMS and other payers for separate payment. HOPDs use this unique HCPCS code to bill commercial payers and Med Advantage.
