Ask a Rev Cycle Expert: New COVID Payment (NCTAP) for Remdesivir?
Question:
With the renewal of the public health emergency (PHE), does the additional 20% on Medicare payments for New COVID-19 Payment (NCTAP) for remdesivir continue?
Answer:
Yes, the additional 20% add-on payment will continue through the end of the PHE. As long as the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) does not revoke the emergency use authorization (EUA), the drug will receive the 20% NCTAP until the end of the PHE has been declared.
