Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What J3299 covers

Xipere is a triamcinolone acetonide suspension administered into the suprachoroidal space of the eye. Ophthalmologists, often retina specialists, use it to treat macular edema associated with uveitis. The drug is supplied for suprachoroidal use, a route distinct from intravitreal injection. Its administration is commonly reported with CPT 67516, the procedure code for suprachoroidal drug injection.

J3299 represents 1 mg of Xipere; the labeled 4 mg dose is reported as 4 units. CMS assigns this code physician fee schedule status E, meaning it is excluded from the physician fee schedule. When Medicare covers the drug, it is a Part B drug generally priced through CMS quarterly ASP drug pricing files. Coverage is left to the Medicare contractor's judgment, and a covered item is paid under another payment method rather than the physician fee schedule.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
