Synergy Billing LLC secures Louisiana Medicaid coverage for elastomeric infusion devices

Home infusion providers have long used elastomeric infusion devices like the A4305 to accurately and safely administer intravenous medications. Unlike traditional methods that rely on manual flow selection or electronic pumps, these devices offer a simplified but effective solution that reduces the risk of medication errors and side effects.

Synergy first petitioned the Los Angeles Department of Health to include elastomeric devices in its Medicaid fee schedule October 2023. Meticulous attention to detail coupled with a comprehensive presentation of supporting evidence highlighted the necessity and effectiveness of this drug delivery system. Specifically, Synergy substantiated this request by demonstrating coverage for other state Medicaid programs and emphasizing the importance of accurate and safe medication administration in the home setting.

Jennifer Armsmanaging partner and chief operating officer at Synergy Billing LLC, noted: “This landmark decision by the Louisiana Department of Health reflects a significant step toward improving patient outcomes and streamlining health care delivery. Synergy is committed to providing unparalleled value to our customers, including infusion device elastomers in Louisiana. “Medicaid underscores our commitment to innovation and support of pharmacy billing providers.”

Ellie Cerimele, Process Implementation Manager at Synergy, led the work on behalf of the company. She highlighted the real impact of the Department of Health’s decision on patients, stating: “Inclusion of elastomeric devices in the Louisiana Medicaid program represents a significant benefit to patient safety and access to essential health care services. By facilitating controlled self-administration of medications in a hospital home environment, we empower patients and improve their overall quality of life.”

Medicaid populations often struggle to access the care they deserve with historic limitations on reimbursement for essential medical devices such as elastomeric infusion systems. The decision to cover elastomeric infusion devices reaffirms Louisiana Medicaid’s commitment to patient-centered care and underscores Synergy’s role as an influential leader in shaping billing services industry standards.
