Pacira BioSciences' (PCRX) non-opioid pain therapy Exparel is now separately reimbursed by UnitedHealthcare (UNH) across outpatient settings, including hospital outpatient departments and ambulatory surgery centers, the company said Wednesday.
The update allows for Exparel to be reimbursed outside the surgical bundle for eligible UnitedHealthcare members, the company said.
Shares of the company were up 1.3% in recent premarket trading.
