Reimbursement Information for Radiopharmaceuticals: Medicare Coding and Payment for Radiopharmaceuticals Used in Nuclear Medicine Procedures
Coding and Payment Information
Under HOPPS, Medicare will continue "packaging" for diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals into the payment for the associated procedure.
Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals are separately payable in physician offices and freestanding imaging centers. Payment is based on 95% of the average wholesale price (AWP) or established by local Medicare contractors (carrier priced).
Physicians performing nuclear medicine procedures using diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals should report the appropriate HCPCS code for the product along with the appropriate CPT® code(s) for the procedure(s). Physicians should make sure the number of units reported is consistent with the quantity of a radiopharmaceutical given to complete the nuclear medicine imaging study.
