Effective for dates of service on and after July 2, Medicare will pay for Kisunla for monoclonal antibodies directed against amyloid for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Medicare covers the drugs with traditional FDA approval in this class when a prescribing clinician or their staff decides the Medicare coverage criteria is met. The clinician or staff also submits information to help answer treatment questions in a qualifying study. You can participate in the CMS
National Patient Registry (or another CMS-approved study) to get Medicare payment for treating your patients with Kisunla.
