💊 About Gemcitabine Injection DRUG GUIDE

Gemcitabine Injection (available as Avgemsi, Gemcitabine, and Infugem) is used to treat several types of cancer.

It is given in combination with carboplatin for advanced ovarian cancer that has returned at least 6 months after platinum-based treatment, and in combination with paclitaxel as a first-line treatment for metastatic breast cancer after prior chemotherapy with an anthracycline (a specific class of chemo drug).It is also given in combination with cisplatin for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be removed surgically or has spread.

For pancreatic cancer that is locally advanced or has spread, it is used as a single agent — including in patients who have already been treated with fluorouracil.

🧮 Dosing & billing-units calculator HCPCS UNITS

One billing unit of J9201 = 200 mg. 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.

🔁 NDCs that bill under J9201 LEAST EXPENSIVE FIRST

57 NDCs map to J9201. Bill units = how many HCPCS units one package represents. Est. pay / pkg = payment limit ($2.884/unit) × that package's bill units.

Figures are for the whole HCPCS code, which may cover uses beyond this drug. ⚠ CMS hides any figure covering fewer than 11 patients (a privacy rule), so totals — especially denials and low-volume codes — run a little low.

🗺️ Where J9201 is utilized CMS · BY PROVIDER · 2024

Medicare Part B services for this code by the rendering provider's state — 160,292 services across 39 states & territories in 2024 (CMS reports include DC and U.S. territories). Switch to per 100k to compare states fairly regardless of population. Hover or tap a state for its top ZIP codes.
Hover or tap a state to see its numbers + top ZIP codes.
Per-capita = services ÷ 2023 state population × 100,000 (so high-population states aren't automatically "hotter"). Counts reflect the provider's location, not the patient's. Providers with fewer than 11 patients are hidden by CMS for privacy, so totals run low and per-100k can be noisy in small states — read this as relative geography, not exact counts.

⚠️ 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.

J9201 billing FAQ

What is HCPCS code J9201?
J9201 is a HCPCS Level II J-code used to bill Injection, gemcitabine hydrochloride, not otherwise specified, 200 mg under Medicare Part B and most medical (not pharmacy) benefits.
What is the billing unit for J9201?
One unit of J9201 represents 200 MG. Report the number of units equal to the dose administered divided by 200 MG.
How many units of J9201 should I bill?
Divide the dose administered by the code's unit size (200 MG) to get the number of billing units, then round per your payer's policy. The calculator on this page converts a dose into billing units and projects a full course.
How much does Medicare pay for J9201?
The Medicare Part B payment limit is $2.884 per unit (Q3 2026), based on ASP + 6%. After the 2% sequester the effective payment is about $2.826 per unit. Payment limits are revised quarterly.
Which NDCs bill under J9201?
57 NDCs currently map to J9201 in the CMS ASP NDC-HCPCS crosswalk. See the NDC crosswalk table above for each product, package, billing units and estimated reimbursement.
Does a crosswalk mean J9201 is covered?
No. An NDC-to-HCPCS crosswalk and a published payment limit do not guarantee coverage or payment. Coverage depends on the payer, the diagnosis and the site of care — always verify the current policy before billing.
For professional billing reference only — verify against the current CMS files before submitting claims.
