What J9046 covers

J9046 identifies Dr. Reddy's bortezomib injection, a proteasome inhibitor used in treatment regimens for multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. Oncology practices may administer bortezomib intravenously or subcutaneously. J9046 is a separate product-specific code, and the product is identified as not therapeutically equivalent to the bortezomib product represented by J9041; select the code that matches the product furnished.

CMS excludes J9046 from the physician fee schedule under status E. When Medicare covers the drug, it is treated as a Part B drug and generally priced using CMS's quarterly Average Sales Price drug files; coverage is left to the Medicare contractor's judgment. The code is reported by drug quantity: one unit represents 0.1 mg, so 1 mg corresponds to 10 units. Report the amount administered in units of 0.1 mg.

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.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
