Episode Synopsis

How do costs and reimbursements shape practice patterns regarding panretinal photocoagulation (PRP)? Niki Kothari, MD, moderates a discussion with Jesse Sengillo, MD, and Nicholas Farber, MD, about a new time-driven activity-based costing study by Berkowitz et al. The panel explores how procedure time, margins, and CMS reimbursement affect the role of PRP versus anti-VEGF therapy, and reflects on how these financial realities may alter clinical decision-making, practice logistics, and advocacy efforts in retina care.
