HCPCS code J9035: Bevacizumab, per 10 mg2026 Medicare rate & RVUs in California

CMS doesn’t publish an office rate for J9035 in California.

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

What J9035 covers

J9035 identifies bevacizumab, the reference product sold as Avastin, used in cancer treatment. It is typically administered by intravenous infusion in regimens for cancers including metastatic colorectal, non-small cell lung, renal cell, cervical, ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancers, as well as glioblastoma. Hospital outpatient departments and physician-office infusion clinics commonly report the drug when they furnish this product. The code represents the medication, not the infusion service.

CMS assigns status E, excluding J9035 from the physician fee schedule. When Medicare covers the drug, payment is under another payment method; the HCPCS pricing method identifies it as a Part B drug generally paid using CMS quarterly ASP drug pricing files. Coverage is left to the Medicare contractor’s judgment. One unit represents 10 mg, so a 100 mg administered dose corresponds to 10 units. Report the infusion administration separately when performed and separately reportable.
