Payment Allowance Limits for Medicare Part B Drugs

  • Note 1: Payment allowance limits subject to the ASP methodology are based on Apr 2021 (2nd Quarter) ASP data.
  • Note 2: The absence or presence of a HCPCS code and the payment allowance limits in this table does not indicate Medicare coverage of the drug. Similarly, the inclusion of a payment allowance limit within a specific column does not indicate Medicare coverage of the drug in that specific category. These determinations shall be made by the local Medicare contractor processing the claim.
