Original Request
Hi, 1. Further to FOI 1968394, please could you provide updated numbers for remdesivir use to the current date. 2. Is there an add-on payment for the use of remdesivir? In the US, payments are received through submitting a NCTAP claim for specific hospital codes, to assist hospitals with some costs. 3. Are there other specific codes, such as U07.1 and ICD-10-PCS, that our hospital receives extra payment for, to assist with costs? If so, please let us know the codes and payment assistance offered, not only those codes specific to covid. Thank you
