What J9060 covers

Cisplatin is an antineoplastic drug supplied as a powder or solution for injection and commonly given intravenously in cancer treatment regimens. Oncology practices and hospital outpatient departments typically report the drug when cisplatin is furnished for a patient’s treatment. The drug code represents the medication, not the infusion or injection service used to administer it.

CMS excludes this code from the physician fee schedule under status E. When Medicare covers the drug, payment is made through another payment method; for a covered Part B drug, CMS generally uses its quarterly Average Sales Price drug pricing files. Special Medicare coverage instructions apply. Each HCPCS unit represents 10 mg of cisplatin, so report units based on the amount represented by the code for the drug furnished.

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.

Payment rules and modifiers for J9060

J9060 billing questions

How many units represent 100 mg of cisplatin?

The code represents 10 mg per unit, so 100 mg corresponds to 10 units.

Is this code for the cisplatin drug or its administration?

It reports the cisplatin drug. Report a chemotherapy administration service separately when the service is performed and the applicable coding requirements are met.

How does this differ from J9045?

J9060 identifies cisplatin; J9045 identifies carboplatin. Select the code for the drug actually furnished, not simply because both are platinum chemotherapy agents.

How does Medicare treat this code?

CMS assigns physician fee schedule status E, excluding it from the physician fee schedule. When covered, Medicare pays under another method; covered Part B drug payment generally uses CMS quarterly ASP drug pricing 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.
