Including Non-Covered Versions When Setting Payment Amounts for Part B Drugs

With certain exceptions, self-administered drugs are typically not covered under Medicare Part B. However, preliminary analysis shows that Part B payment amounts for a small number of drugs are being based, in part, on the average sales prices of non-covered, self-administered versions. We will examine how the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services determines which versions of drugs are included in Part B payment amount calculations, and the cost to Medicare and its beneficiaries of including non-covered, self-administered versions when calculating Part B payment amounts.
