How is SANTYL Ointment most commonly reimbursed?
As a service to you and your patients, we have collected a number of reimbursement possibilities for you to consider.
Hospital Outpatient Department (HOPD)/Qualified Healthcare Professional Office (QHP)†
Most commonly, a patient would be given a prescription and would obtain SANTYL Ointment from a retail pharmacy and the patient’s prescription drug benefit would cover and pay for the drug (eg, through commercial insurance, Medicare Part D, or Medicaid).
If the HOPD or QHP provides and uses SANTYL Ointment on the patient during his or her visit, the HOPD or QHP is responsible for the cost of the drug.
Hospital†
Most commonly, the cost of SANTYL Ointment is included in a lump sum payment to the facility from a payer in the form of a Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) or per diem. If, however, the facility is paid based on charges for a patient, SANTYL Ointment may be separately billable.
Home Health Care†
Most commonly, a patient would be given a prescription and would obtain SANTYL Ointment from a retail pharmacy and the patient’s prescription drug benefit would cover and pay for the drug (eg, through commercial insurance, Medicare Part D, or Medicaid).
Nursing Home†
NON-SKILLED: Most commonly, the cost of SANTYL Ointment is covered under the patient’s prescription drug benefit (eg, commercial insurance, Medicare Part D, or Medicaid).
SKILLED: Most commonly, the cost of drugs are covered in a lump sum per diem payment (eg, Resource Utilization Group (RUG) for Medicare or through Medicaid formulary).
