RELiZORB CARTRIDGE is an in-line digestive enzyme cartridge and is indicated for use in pediatric patients and adult patients to hydrolyze fats in enteral formula.
As CMS explained, “Such coding is necessary for Medicare, Medicaid, and other health insurance programs to ensure that insurance claims are processed in an orderly and consistent manner.”
“We are pleased that CMS has recognized the need for a unique billing code for RELiZORB,” said Daniel Tassé, CEO of Alcresta Therapeutics.
