In June 2023, the regional Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) almost uniformly introduced draft policy language indicating cessation of coverage for many minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures, including goniotomy and cyclophotocoagulation. In today's episode, host Andrew Pouw is joined by Dr. Alan Robin, the first executive vice president of the American Glaucoma Society, and Dr. Pradeep Ramulu, chief of the Glaucoma Division at the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute, to discuss MACs, clinical evidence for MIGS, and advocacy efforts underway to protect patient access to MIGS procedures.
