O
n February 9, after a year of riding a legislative roller coaster, Innovatix and the infusion industry witnessed historic Congressional action on behalf of providers and Medicare beneficiaries. As of January 1, 2019, infusion providers will be able to bill – for the first time ever – for the essential home infusion services they provide to certain Medicare beneficiaries. Never before has the Medicare program reimbursed for home infusion services, making this a landmark piece of legislation that will surely lead to additional opportunities for infusion pharmacies and beneficiaries.
