What J9357 covers

Valrubicin is an antineoplastic drug delivered directly into the bladder through a urinary catheter, not by intravenous infusion. Urologists use it for adults with bladder carcinoma in situ that persists or returns after intravesical BCG, particularly when cystectomy is not an appropriate option. The drug code represents the medication; CPT 51720 represents the bladder instillation service.

Each J9357 unit represents 200 mg of valrubicin, so an 800-mg administration is four units. CMS assigns physician fee schedule status E, excluding the drug from that schedule. When Medicare covers it, payment is made through another method. HCPCS classifies it as a Part B drug generally paid using CMS quarterly ASP drug pricing files when covered. Its CMS coverage code indicates that 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.

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.
