Another exciting step forward for the NET community! Advanced Accelerator Applications announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has granted NETSPOT® Transitional Pass-Through Status under an “A-code” (A9587) for drug reimbursement, effective January 1, 2017. What this means is that the different institutions doing the Gallium-68 scan utilizing NETSPOT® now have a reimbursement code to submit to Medicare/Medicaid and private payors. While it does not guarantee that individual patients will get insurance coverage, this is a very positive step for getting more institutions to offer the Gallium-68 scan.
