answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>For the 2017/19 national tariff (which was set for two years), the prices for BZ91 were manually increased above the initially modelled level (based on 2014/15 reference costs) following feedback from the ophthalmology Expert Working Group (EWG). For 2019/20, the EWG recommended that the prices for BZ91 should not be increased and should remain as modelled (based on 2016/17 reference costs).</p><p>The EWG also confirmed that minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and cataract activity are commonly done together and it would not usually be in the patient’s best interest to do them separately. The EWG advised that BZ91 was appropriate for combined MIGS and cataract activity – a MIGS procedure plus a cataract procedure should not receive over twice as much as either procedure alone.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 15/05/2019 16:43:32 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
