Billing and Payment for Drugs and Drug Administration

This section provides billing guidance and payment instructions for hospitals when providing drugs and drug administration services in the hospital outpatient department.

Coding and Payment for Drugs and Biologicals, and Radiopharmaceuticals

This section provides hospitals with coding instructions and payment information for drugs paid under OPPS. For additional information on coding and payment for drugs and biologicals under the OPPS, see the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 17 “Drugs and Biologicals.”

Coding and Payment for Drug Administration




A. Overview

Drug administration services furnished under the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) during CY 2005 were reported using Procedure  codes 90780, 90781, and 96400-96459.

Effective January 1, 2006, some of these Procedure  codes were replaced with more detailed Procedure  codes incorporating specific procedural concepts, as defined and described by the Procedure  manual, such as initial, concurrent, and sequential.

Hospitals are instructed to use the full set of Procedure  codes, including those codes referencing concepts of initial, concurrent, and sequential, to bill for drug administration services furnished in the hospital outpatient department beginning January 1, 2007. In addition, hospitals are instructed to continue billing the HCPCS codes that most accurately describe the service(s) provided.

Hospitals are reminded to bill a separate Evaluation and Management code (with modifier 25) only if a significant, separately identifiable E/M service is performed in the same encounter with OPPS drug administration services.

B. Billing for Infusions and Injections 

Beginning in CY 2007, hospitals were instructed to use the full set of drug administration Procedure  codes (90760-90779; 96401-96549), (96413-96523 beginning in CY 2008) (96360-96549 beginning in CY 2009) when billing for drug administration services provided in the hospital outpatient department. In addition, hospitals are to continue to bill HCPCS code C8957 (Intravenous infusion for therapy/diagnosis; initiation of prolonged infusion (more than 8 hours), requiring use of portable or implantable pump) when appropriate. Hospitals are expected to report all drug administration Procedure  codes in a manner consistent with their descriptors, Procedure  instructions, and correct coding principles. Hospitals should note the conceptual changes between CY 2006 drug administration codes effective under the OPPS and the Procedure  codes in effect beginning January 1, 2007, in order to ensure accurate billing under the OPPS. Hospitals should report all HCPCS codes that describe the drug administration services provided, regardless of whether or not those services are separately paid or their payment is packaged.

Medicare’s general policy regarding physician supervision within hospital outpatient departments meets the physician supervision requirements for use of Procedure  codes 90760-90779, 96401-96549, (96413-96523 beginning in CY 2008).
Drug administration services are to be reported with a line item date of service on the day they are provided. In addition, only one initial drug administration service is to be reported per vascular access site per encounter, including during an encounter where observation services span more than 1 calendar day.

C. Payments For Drug Administration Services

For CY 2007, OPPS drug administration APCs were restructured, resulting in a six-level hierarchy where active HCPCS codes have been assigned according to their clinical coherence and resource use. Contrary to the CY 2006 payment structure that bundled payment for several instances of a type of service (non-chemotherapy, chemotherapy by infusion, non-infusion chemotherapy) into a per-encounter APC payment, structure introduced in CY 2007 provides a separate APC payment for each reported unit of a separately payable HCPCS code.

Hospitals should note that the transition to the full set of Procedure  drug administration codes provides for conceptual differences when reporting, such as those noted below.

• In CY 2006, hospitals were instructed to bill for the first hour (and any additional hours) by each type of infusion service (non-chemotherapy, chemotherapy by infusion, non-infusion chemotherapy). Beginning in CY 2007, the first hour concept no longer exists. Procedure  codes in CY 2007 and beyond allow for only one initial service per encounter, for each vascular access site, no matter how many types of infusion services are provided; however, hospitals will receive an APC payment for the initial service and separate APC payment(s) for additional hours of infusion or other drug administration services provided
that are separately payable.

• In CY 2006, hospitals providing infusion services of different types (non-chemotherapy, chemotherapy by infusion, non-infusion chemotherapy) received payment for the associated per-encounter infusion APC even if these infusions occurred during the same time period. Beginning in CY 2007, hospitals should report only one initial drug administration service, including infusion services, per encounter for each distinct vascular access site, with other services through the same vascular access site being reported via the sequential, concurrent or additional hour codes. Although new Procedure  guidance has been issued for reporting initial drug administration services, Medicare contractors shall continue to follow the guidance given in this manual.

(NOTE: This list above provides a brief overview of a limited number of the conceptual changes between CY 2006 OPPS drug administration codes and CY 2007 OPPS drug administration codes – this list is not comprehensive and does not include all items hospitals will need to consider during this transition)

For APC payment rates, refer to the most current quarterly version of Addendum B on the CMS Web site at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/HospitalOutpatientPPS/.

D. Infusions Started Outside the Hospital

Hospitals may receive Medicare beneficiaries for outpatient services who are in the process of receiving an infusion at their time of arrival at the hospital (e.g., a patient who arrives via ambulance with an ongoing intravenous infusion initiated by paramedics during transport). Hospitals are reminded to bill for all services provided using the HCPCS code(s) that most accurately describe the service(s) they provided. This includes hospitals reporting an initial hour of infusion, even if the hospital did not initiate the infusion, and additional HCPCS codes for additional or sequential infusion services if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions


Does the Medicare Part B deductible or coinsurance/copayment apply for Part B-covered immunizations?

No, neither the Part B deductible nor coinsurance or copayment applies to the vaccines or their administration from physicians or suppliers that agree to accept assignment.

If a beneficiary gets a seasonal influenza virus vaccine more than once in a 12-month period, will Medicare still pay for it?

Yes, Medicare pays for one seasonal influenza virus vaccination per influenza season; however, a beneficiary could get the seasonal influenza virus vaccine twice in a calendar year for two different influenza seasons, and Medicare would pay the provider for each. For example, a beneficiary could get a seasonal influenza virus vaccination in January 2014 for the 2013–2014 influenza season and another seasonal influenza virus vaccination in November 2014 for the 2014–2015 influenza season, and Medicare would pay for both vaccinations.

Will Medicare pay for the pneumococcal vaccination if a beneficiary is uncertain of his or her vaccination history?

Yes, if a beneficiary is uncertain about his or her vaccination history, provide the vaccine and Medicare will cover the revaccination.

Does Medicare cover the hepatitis B vaccine for all Medicare beneficiaries? No, Medicare covers the hepatitis B vaccine for certain beneficiaries who are at intermediate to high risk for the hepatitis B virus (HBV). These individuals include health care professionals who have frequent contact with blood or blood-derived body fluids during routine work, those with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), persons who live in the same household as an HBV carrier, and persons diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Other situations could qualify a beneficiary as being at intermediate or high risk of contracting HBV.

When a beneficiary gets both the seasonal influenza virus and pneumococcal vaccines on the same visit, do I continue to report separate administration codes for each type of vaccine?

Yes, see https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coverage/CoverageGenInfo/ICD10.html for individual Change Requests (CRs) and coding translations for ICD-10. Use separate administration codes for the seasonal influenza virus (G0008) and pneumococcal (G0009) vaccines. Medicare pays both administration fees if a beneficiary gets both the seasonal influenza virus and the pneumococcal
vaccines on the same day.



Can I roster bill the seasonal influenza virus, pneumococcal, and hepatitis B vaccines?

No, you may roster bill only the seasonal influenza virus and pneumococcal vaccines. You cannot roster bill the hepatitis B vaccine.

What is a mass immunizer?

A mass immunizer offers seasonal influenza virus and/or pneumococcal vaccinations to a large number of individuals. A mass immunizer may be a traditional Medicare provider or supplier or a non-traditional provider or supplier (such as a senior citizens’ center, a public health clinic, or a community pharmacy). Mass immunizers must submit claims for immunizations on roster bills and must accept assignment on both the vaccine and its administration.

A mass immunizer should enroll with the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) prior to each influenza season. Please see the next question for more enrollment information.

Do providers that only provide immunizations need to enroll in the Medicare Program?

Yes, providers must enroll in the Medicare Program even if immunizations are the only service they will provide to beneficiaries. They should enroll as provider specialty type 73, Mass Immunization Roster Biller, by completing Form CMS-855I for individuals or Form CMS-855B for a group. To locate these forms, visit https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Provider-Enrollment-and- Certification/MedicareProviderSupEnroll on the CMS website. New providers must first receive a National Provider Identifier (NPI) prior to enrollment. For NPI enrollment information, visit https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/Welcome.do
on the Internet.


May I submit a single roster claim containing information for both the seasonal influenza virus and pneumococcal vaccines when the vaccines are administered on the same visit?

No, you must prepare a separate roster claim for the seasonal influenza virus vaccine and the pneumococcal vaccine. However, you may file an individual claim containing information for both types of vaccines.
