What J9390 covers
Vinorelbine tartrate is an antineoplastic drug administered by intravenous infusion, commonly in oncology care for cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. Oncology practices and hospital-based infusion departments report the drug code for the amount administered; the infusion administration service is reported separately when applicable.
Each HCPCS unit represents 10 mg, so the reported drug units correspond to the administered dose divided by 10 mg. CMS assigns status E, excluding the drug from the physician fee schedule; when Medicare covers it, payment is made under another method. For a covered Part B drug, CMS generally uses its quarterly Average Sales Price drug pricing files. Special Medicare coverage instructions apply.

Each unit represents 10 mg of vinorelbine tartrate. Base the unit count on the administered dose divided by 10 mg.
Is the infusion administration included in this code?
No. This code identifies the drug; report the chemotherapy administration service separately when applicable.
