We will apply this to all payors too. I have seen polices for BCBS& UHC.

I typically adopt MC policies for all carriers and deal with their proprietary policies as appropriate.

So, is it best to do it for all insurances then?
Beth- Medicare replacements as well?
Taleesha- I belive you on this, as this is the case for lots of denials and such, some commercial's follow Medicare.

I have seen policies out there for commercial payors in regard to drug waste. They align with the CMS policy.

Hey there, the use of JW/JZ, is this just for Medicare patients or all insurance types?

Oops - I read your question incorrectly!
The hospital requirements are for drugs with a status indicator of G or K.

Hi Beth, our imaging center is owned by the hospital but it's not an IDTF. Does this rule for contrast waste still apply?
Thank you
Hulah

Contrast waste is still mandatory reporting.

Good afternoon!
I've read lots of material about reporting the waste but i've heard conflicting information on contrast material for IDTFs. Is contrast exlcuded or do we need to report waste?
Thank you!
