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

What J9052 covers

J9052 identifies Accord carmustine injection, an intravenous antineoplastic drug used in treatment of cancers including brain tumors and lymphomas. Oncology practices and hospital outpatient departments may report it when this specific carmustine product is administered as part of a treatment regimen. Select the code for the product actually furnished; J9052 is identified as not therapeutically equivalent to J9050, so the two product codes are not interchangeable simply because both contain carmustine.

CMS excludes J9052 from the physician fee schedule under status E. When Medicare covers the drug, it is treated as a Part B drug and generally priced through CMS quarterly Average Sales Price files; special Medicare coverage instructions apply. One HCPCS unit represents 100 mg, so report units based on the amount administered. The drug code identifies the medication, while the chemotherapy administration service is reported separately when applicable.
