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

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.

** - Carrier Priced

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.
