Learn More About B-12, Insulin Injection Coverage Requirements From MAC
Published on Fri May 12, 2017
With medical review on the rise, now’s a good time to brush up on coverage requirements for injections in the home health setting — and HHH Medicare Administrative Contractor Palmetto GBA wants to give you a helping hand. Palmetto recently posted a “Clinical Corner” education module on home health injections. It covers vitamin B-12 and insulin injection topics, including prefilling insulin syringes and Hemoglobin A1c tests, the MAC says. Access the module at http://palmgba.com/elearn/HHInjections/story_html5.html.
