AECOS also participated in the development of guidance on Laser Refractive Cataract Surgery. On November 16, 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services published guidance entitled “Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery and CMS Rulings 05-01 and 1536-4.” The guideline addresses when physicians and facilities may charge Medicare beneficiaries for the use of a femtosecond laser when performing cataract surgery with the implantation of premium IOLs.
On December 17, 2012, AECOS hosted a webinar and live Q & A: “CMS Guidance on Femtosecond Lasers: What it means to physicians and facilities.”
