[1] Since we anticipate that providers, initially, will not incur a cost for the product, CMS will update the payment allowance at a later date. Providers should not bill for the product if they received it for free.

[6] On July 30, 2021, the FDA revised the EUA for casirivimab and imdevimab to allow its use for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in certain adult and pediatric patients. For patients who meet the criteria for repeat dosing, the authorized dosage is an initial dose of 1200 mg, followed by subsequent repeat dosing of 600 mg once every 4 weeks for the duration of ongoing exposure. As a result, CMS issued a new product code for casirivimab and imdevimab of 600 mg (Q0240), and 2 new codes for the administration of repeat doses of casirivimab and imdevimab (M0240/M0241). Providers and suppliers who administer casirivimab and imdevimab for PEP should use M0243 or M0244 for administering the first dose and M0240 or M0241 for administering subsequent repeat doses.
