Nerve Gel Injection Issues:
Medicare has changed the process of processing payment for gel injections. They want to move the costs from Part B to Part D prescription drug coverage.
The issue is that those with Tricare for Life don’t have Part D drug coverage since your prescriptions are covered by TFL.
Solutions:
1. Your provider can continue to administer the gel injection and bill the entire procedure including the gel as a Part B procedure.
2. Your provider can order the injection from a Tricare for Life Specialty Pharmacy such as Accredo, Wal-greens, CVS. The provider will only bill to administer the injection.
