What Q5127 covers

Q5127 identifies pegfilgrastim-fpgk, marketed as Stimufend, a biosimilar of pegfilgrastim. This long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is administered by subcutaneous injection to help reduce the risk of infection associated with chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. Oncology practices and other clinicians administering supportive cancer therapy may report the drug in physician offices, clinics, or hospital outpatient settings. The product-specific code distinguishes Stimufend from other pegfilgrastim products.

CMS assigns physician fee schedule status E, meaning the drug is excluded from the physician fee schedule. When Medicare covers it, payment is handled through another method; CMS classifies it as a Part B drug that is generally priced from quarterly ASP drug pricing files. The Medicare contractor determines coverage. Each Q5127 unit represents 0.5 mg of pegfilgrastim-fpgk: for example, a 6 mg administered dose corresponds to 12 units. Report the code for the Stimufend product actually administered.

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.

Q5127 billing questions

How many Q5127 units represent a 6 mg dose?

Each unit represents 0.5 mg, so a 6 mg dose is 12 units.

Should Q5127 be used for another pegfilgrastim biosimilar?

No. Q5127 identifies pegfilgrastim-fpgk (Stimufend). Select the HCPCS code that identifies the product actually administered.

How does Medicare treat Q5127?

CMS assigns status E, excluding it from the physician fee schedule. When covered, it is a Part B drug generally priced through quarterly ASP files, with coverage left to the Medicare contractor.

Does Q5127 describe the injection administration service?

No. Q5127 identifies the drug and its administered quantity, not the administration service.

What documentation supports the reported units?

Document the Stimufend product administered and the dose given so the reported 0.5 mg units can be verified.

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.
