Question:
I know that drugs normally billed as chemotherapy administration will be associated primarily with a code found in the J9XXX series, are there any exceptions?
Answer:
Some exceptions are newly created temporary codes (HCPCS C codes) that represent chemotherapy or highly complex drug or biological. This is not an all-inclusive list of drugs that may be reported with code range (96401–96417).
