Eylea HD
How do we code for the new Eylea HD 8 mg?
Answer:
Eylea HD, 8 mg/0.07 mL, should be reported with permanent HCPCS code J0177 and 8 units. The indications for this new drug include neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema and diabetic retinopathy. The frequency of injections varies from that of Eylea 2 mg and other anti-VEGF drugs and should be confirmed on the FDA label per indication.
