8 22 SAD Medicare Part B does not cover drugs that are usually (i.e., more than 50% of the time) selfadministered by the patient It is a benefit category denial and not a denial based on medical necessity An Advance Beneficiary Notice ( ABN ) is not required Therefore providers may charge the beneficiary for an excluded drug If Hospital pharmacy participates (most don t) in Part D drug plan, then some SAD may be covered 23 NGS SAD List Contractors (FI/MACs) must publish a list of the injectable drugs that are subject to the selfadministered exclusion on their Web site Link to NGS SAD list ,%20FI)&DocStatus=SAD&ContrNum=00450&CntrctrType=FI&LCntrctr=63&bc =BAACAACAAAAA&#ResultsAnchor J1675 INJECTION, HISTRELIN ACETATE, 10 MICROGRAMS Histrelin acetate 10mg J1815 INJECTION, INSULIN, PER 5 UNITS Insulin J1817 INSULIN FOR ADMINISTRATION THROUGH DME (I.E., INSULIN PUMP) PER 50 UNITS Insulin for administration 24 Billing for Wastage The CMS encourages physicians, hospitals and other providers and suppliers to care for and administer to patients in such a way that they can use drugs or biologicals most efficiently When a provider must discard the remainder of a single use vial or other single use package after administering a drug or biological to a Medicare patient, the program provides payment for the amount of drug or biological discarded as well as the dose administered, up to the amount of the drug or biological as indicated on the vial or package label Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 17 - Drugs and Biologicals 8
9 25 Wastage Document what was wasted Can be per patient documentation Can be included in a drug wastage policy Watch billing wastage for multi-use vials OIG has recommended FIs set up an edit that looks for drug billing units equal to full vials for multi-use vial drugs 26 Multi Use Vials Herceptin comes in a multiuse vial of 440 milligrams Herceptin, when reconstituted with BWFI and stored properly, can be used for up to 28 days For multiuse vials, Medicare pays only for the amount administered to a beneficiary and does not pay for any discarded drug A payment for an entire multiuse vial is likely to be incorrect This audit is part of a nationwide review of the drug Herceptin Report by THE OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL- December 2012 A JW Modifier The JW modifier is only applied to the amount of drug or biological that is discarded Not required by NGS Some Hospitals use the JW modifier as part of there wastage documentation program 9
10 28 NDC Review National Drug Code maintained in the formulary by the pharmacist 11 digit code represents brand (labeler), drug and dose, vial size NDC is used for billing for some payers e.g., Medicaid Annual review is important 29 Billing Units Maintain Medicare billing units definition in CDM, not vial size from formulary E.g., CDM description- Tirofiban HCL Inj 0.25mg Formulary description- Tirofiban HCL Inj 12.5mg 1 vial = 50 billing units-- J3246 x 50 Round up partial units to whole billing units 30 Formulary to CDM Review Review at least annually Join Formulary to CDM Reconcile Formulary items not linked to CDM Drug CDM items with no formulary link All multipliers 10

Payment for prosthetics and orthotics is made on the basis of a fee schedule whether it is billed to the DMERC or the FI...
