Reimbursement in the ASC & HOPD for Medicare Patients
Reimbursement for EXPAREL in outpatient settings beginning January 1, 2025
THE NOPAIN ACT is a federal mandate that requires Medicare to reimburse for non-opioids, like EXPAREL, used during all surgeries conducted in the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) or hospital outpatient department (HOPD) setting.
This will expand Medicare reimbursement beyond the ambulatory surgery center, where EXPAREL already has reimbursement via code C9290.
