Item 8.01. Other Events

 

On October 3, 2024, four Medicare Administrative Contractors (“MACs”), Palmetto GBA, CGS Administrators, National Government Services, and WPS Government Health Administrators, each individually published final local coverage determinations and related final local coverage articles (collectively, the “Final LCDs”) regarding Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (“MIGS”). The Final LCDs, which are substantially similar to the proposed local coverage determinations published by each MAC in May 2024, confirm Medicare coverage for phacoemulsification / intraocular lens placement procedures performed with a single MIGS procedure. A “MIGS” procedure includes canaloplasty in combination with trabeculotomy ab interno, which is a procedural description associated with the Company’s OMNI ® Surgical System (“OMNI”), and goniotomy, which is a procedural description associated with the Company’s SION ® Surgical Instrument (“SION”) technology. Accordingly, Medicare coverage for canaloplasty in combination with trabeculotomy ab interno procedures and goniotomy procedures will continue in the states covered by these MACs. The anticipated effective date of the Final LCDs is November 17, 2024.

 

The Final LCDs adopt coverage limitations or non-coverage policies for MIGS procedures as first-line treatments for mild-to-moderate glaucoma, for surgical MIGS procedures (such as canaloplasty or goniotomy), when performed at the same time of service in the same patient eye as an aqueous shunt procedure, and for phacoemulsification / intraocular lens placement, when performed with a combination of MIGS procedures (e.g., cataract, stent, and either canaloplasty or goniotomy) at the same time of service in the same eye.

 

The Company plans to continue to engage with each MAC, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and the clinical societies in continued support of procedures performed with OMNI and SION.

This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”), together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by the Company, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which statements are subject to considerable risks and uncertainties. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Any statements made in this Current Report that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about the Company’s beliefs and estimates, are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding, the continued coverage of the procedures referenced in the Final LCDs, the anticipated effective date of the Final LCDs, and the Company’s plans to continue to engage with each MAC, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and clinical societies.
