Item 8.01 Other Events

CGS Administrators, LLC, the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) for Ohio and Kentucky, removed CPT 0100T (Placement of a subconjunctival retinal prosthesis receiver and pulse generator, and implantation of intra-ocular retinal electrode array, with vitrectomy) from the Non-Covered Services Local Coverage Determination and agreed to cover the implantation of the Argus II retinal prosthesis system for the FDA approved indications. 

CGS also published an article (Article ID #54326) outlining the coding and indications for Ohio and Kentucky. The article can be found on the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS) website at www.cms.gov. This coverage decision by CGS along with the availability in both Ohio and Kentucky of highly rated universities with full service surgical retina departments now provides the opportunity for treatment of Medicare beneficiaries. 

CMS relies on a network of MACs, or Medicare Administrative Contractors, to administer and process Medicare fee-for-service claims within a specified region (or jurisdiction) within the United States. There are currently 12 jurisdictions. CMS also delegates the authority to the MACs to make the majority of decisions regarding coverage for a given service, procedure or device. 

Currently, there are two MACs providing coverage for the Argus II, including CGS and Palmetto GBA (Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina).

The Company continues to work with other Medicare Administrative Contractors and payers to secure further positive coverage for the Argus II.
