The application also supports a newly passed congressional bill anticipated to provide separate reimbursement outside the package surgical payment for Zynrelef for almost three years between 1 January 2025 - 31 December 2027.
In two Phase 3 trials, Zynrelef demonstrated the ability to significantly increase the proportion of patients taking no opioids after surgery.
The company says separate payments from CMS are anticipated to accelerate the uptake of Zynrelef in large hospital systems significantly.
Price Action: HRTX shares are up 6.00% at $2.39 on the last check Thursday.
