ESA therapy is covered to treat clinically significant anemia by elevating or maintaining red blood cell levels (as demonstrated by Hgb/Hct) to decrease anemia and reduce the need for transfusions.
End stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on dialysis with anemia (Hgb < 10.0 g/dL or Hct < 30%) are eligible for ESA therapy.
Chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) patients with anemia (Hgb < 10.0 g/dL or Hct < 30%) and evidence of marked renal dysfunction (serum creatinine >= 3 mg/dL OR creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min OR GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) are eligible for ESA therapy.
Patients with non-myeloid malignancies who have anemia due to concomitant myelosuppressive chemotherapy are eligible for ESA therapy when the hemoglobin immediately prior to initiation or maintenance is < 10.0 g/dL (Hct < 30%).
Patients with anemia due to AZT and/or other nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) for HIV/AIDS with Hgb < 10.0 g/dL or Hct < 30% at initiation are eligible for ESA therapy.
Selected patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with < 10% blasts, pretreatment erythropoietin level ≤ 500 (units as per lab), and anemia (Hgb < 10.0 g/dL or Hct < 30%) are eligible for ESA therapy.
