Sight Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGHT) (“Sight Sciences”), an eyecare technology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative technology intended to transform care and improve patients’ lives, supports the decision announced by five Medicare Administrative Contractors (“MACs”) to withdraw their final local coverage determinations (“LCDs”) for Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (“MIGS”) that were scheduled to take effect on January 29, 2024.
These five MACs, WPS Government Health Administrators, Palmetto GBA, Celerian Group Company, National Government Services, and Noridian Healthcare Solutions, previously published LCDs on MIGS, which identified certain procedures as investigational for glaucoma management in patients over the age of 18, including canaloplasty in combination with trabeculotomy ab interno, which is a procedural description associated with the Company’s OMNI Surgical System (“OMNI”). All five MACs have now issued statements that the final LCDs will not go into effect on January 29, 2024. As a result, there will be no change in January 2024 to the current Medicare coverage for MIGS procedures performed with the OMNI Surgical System.
