The CMS payment limit is the Medicare Part B drug allowance (ASP + 6%, statutory). After the 2% federal sequester the effective payment is ≈ ASP + 4.3%; estimated ASP = payment limit ÷ 1.06. Source: CMS Medicare Part B Payment Limit File (quarterly).

🧮 Dosing & billing-units calculator HCPCS UNITS

One billing unit of J1800 = 1 unit. Enter a regimen to convert dose → billing units and project a full course.
Billing units = dose ÷ HCPCS unit size. Most payers require whole units — round per the payer's policy. “Est. Medicare pay” uses the current payment limit. For single-dose vials, drug discarded after administration may be separately billable with modifier JW (JZ when none is discarded) where allowed. Always verify payer-specific rounding before billing.

⚠️ Practical billing caveats

  • A crosswalk is not coverage. An NDC mapping or a published payment limit does not guarantee a payer will cover or pay this code. Check the specific plan's policy.
  • Units ≠ milligrams. Bill the number of HCPCS units (dose ÷ the code's unit size), not the milligram dose. Use the calculator above.
  • Discarded drug. For single-dose vials, drug discarded after administration may be separately billable with modifier JW (and JZ when nothing is discarded) where the payer allows.
  • Rounding & partial units. Many payers require whole units; round per the payer's policy, not automatically up.
  • The code can cover more than this drug. Some HCPCS codes span multiple products or strengths — confirm the exact code for the product administered.
  • Figures lag. ASP limits change quarterly and utilization data are released with a delay. Verify against the current CMS files before billing.
