What J9054 covers

J9054 identifies Boruzu, a bortezomib product used in cancer treatment, including treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. Oncology clinicians typically administer bortezomib by intravenous or subcutaneous injection in physician practices and hospital outpatient settings. This product-specific code distinguishes Boruzu from other bortezomib products billed under separate HCPCS codes.

CMS assigns J9054 physician fee schedule status E, excluding it from the physician fee schedule. When Medicare covers the drug, it generally pays under the Part B drug payment method using CMS quarterly Average Sales Price drug pricing files. Coverage is left to the Medicare contractor’s judgment. Each unit represents 0.1 mg; for example, 1 mg corresponds to 10 units. Report the units based on the amount of Boruzu administered and document the product and administered amount.

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.

J9054 billing questions

When should a biller use J9054 rather than J9041?

Use J9054 for Boruzu. J9041 is another bortezomib code; select the code that identifies the product actually administered.

How many units represent 1 mg of Boruzu?

Each unit represents 0.1 mg, so 1 mg corresponds to 10 units.

Does J9054 identify the administration route?

It identifies the Boruzu product and drug quantity unit. Document the route used, such as intravenous or subcutaneous administration.

Does Medicare pay J9054 under the physician fee schedule?

No. CMS assigns status E, excluding the code from the physician fee schedule. When covered, the Part B drug is generally paid using CMS quarterly ASP drug pricing files; coverage is left to the Medicare contractor’s judgment.

What documentation supports the reported units?

Document that Boruzu was administered and record the amount given. Convert the administered milligrams into 0.1 mg units.

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.
