Ask a Rev Cycle Expert: COVID-19 Monoclonal Antibody Administration?

Question:

Can the COVID-19 monoclonal antibody treatments, i.e. casirivimab/imdevimab or bamlanivimab/etesevimab, be provided to a patient admitted with COVID-19?

Answer:

The emergency use authorization (EUA) issued by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the monoclonal antibody therapies are for use on an outpatient basis to treat mild-to-moderate COVID-19 patients. The EUA specifically states that monoclonal antibodies are not authorized for use in patients who are hospitalized due to COVID-19.
