Local Carrier Payment Allowance Limits for Medicare Part B Drugs

Effective October 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010

Note 1: The complete ASP Payment Allowance Limits list can be accessed at the following link: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Part-B-Drugs/McrPartBDrugAvgSalesPrice/index.htmlExternal Website

Note 2: Payment allowance limits subject to the ASP methodology are based on 2Q10 ASP data.

Note 3:The absence or presence of a HCPCS code and the payment allowance limits in this table does not indicate Medicare coverage of the drug. Similarly, the inclusion of a payment allowance limit within a specific column does not indicate Medicare coverage of the drug in that specific category. These determinations shall be made by the local Medicare contractor processing the claim.
