What J9150 covers

Daunorubicin is an anthracycline antineoplastic drug used in chemotherapy, including treatment of acute leukemias. Hematology and oncology teams administer it by intravenous injection, commonly as part of a multi-drug treatment regimen in a hospital or infusion setting. The drug code identifies the daunorubicin supplied; the service used to administer chemotherapy is coded separately when appropriate.

J9150 is a Part B drug code with a 10 mg billing unit. Count units by dividing the documented amount of daunorubicin administered by 10 mg. CMS excludes the code from the physician fee schedule under status E; when Medicare covers the item, payment is made under another method. CMS assigns it Part B drug pricing, generally using the quarterly Average Sales Price drug pricing files when covered. Special Medicare coverage instructions apply.

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.

J9150 billing questions

How many units should be reported?

Each unit represents 10 mg of daunorubicin. Calculate units from the documented amount administered.

How is J9150 different from J9153?

J9150 represents daunorubicin alone. J9153 represents a daunorubicin-and-cytarabine combination product, so select the code matching the product administered.

Does J9150 include chemotherapy administration?

No. J9150 identifies the drug; report the applicable chemotherapy administration service separately when it is performed and separately reportable.

How does Medicare price this code?

CMS excludes J9150 from the physician fee schedule under status E. When Medicare covers it, the code is treated as a Part B drug and generally priced using CMS quarterly ASP drug pricing files.

What should the record support?

Document the daunorubicin product and the amount administered so the reported 10 mg units can be supported.

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.
