Revised 06/28/2006

Name of Drug and Exact Dosage Given must be in Block 19 (paper) or Narrative Field (EMC)

NOTE 1: Payment allowance limits subject to the ASP methodology are based on 3Q05 ASP data.

NOTE 2: Providers should contact their local Medicare contractor processing the claim for the most appropriate unlisted/unclassified HCPCS code to use in reporting these drugs to Medicare.

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.
