ADMA Biologics, Inc. announced that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a permanent, product-specific J-code for ASCENIV™. Under the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS), the J-code (J1554) will become effective April 1, 2021 and will replace the currently issued C-code for ASCENIV (C9072), which can continue to be utilized in the interim for reimbursement purposes. The company will retain transitional pass-through status granted for ASCENIV from CMS. Permanent J-codes are used by commercial insurers and government payers to standardize claims submissions and reimbursements for medications, such as ASCENIV, that are administered by a healthcare professional in an outpatient setting. While not a guarantee of payment, these codes enable timely claims adjudication and processing, and consequently facilitate a simplified pathway to prescription, administration and ultimately patient utilization.
