Autologous serum tears for dry eyes

[ksnyder@eccnc.net]

Can anyone tell me if I can bill Medicare and/or commercial insurances for the supply of blood serum tears? If so, what CPT or HCPCS code should I use? Thank you

I understand that there is someone in Iowa working with Medicare to establish a code, but to date there is not one.
