Local Carrier Payment Allowance Limits for Medicare Part B Drugs – Effective October 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017

Revised: 11.02.17

Note 1: The complete ASP Payment Allowance Limits list can be accessed at the following link: http://www.cms.gov/McrPartBDrugAvgSalesPrice/01a18_2011ASPFiles.aspExternal website

Note 2: Payment allowance limits subject to the ASP methodology are based on 2Q12 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.
