Chemotherapy

When chemotherapy for a malignant disease is provided in a physician’s office, reimbursement is allowed for the following:

• Evaluation and management (E&M) visits.
• The drug, including injection of the drug.
• Therapeutic infusions.
• Supplies.
• Physician-administered oral anti-emetic drugs.

Each of these services may be reimbursed separately.

Refer to Appendix 1 of this section for allowable E&M services procedure codes. Use procedure code 99070 for supplies and materials provided by the physician.

Wisconsin Medicaid covers chemotherapy drugs (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System [HCPCS] codes J9000-J9999). Reimbursement for these procedure codes includes the cost of the drug and the charge for administering the drug. (If the physician’s office does not supply the drug, use procedure code 90782 or 90784 on claims for the injection. Use the appropriate procedure code for the infusion when performed by the physician.)

When chemotherapy for a malignancy is provided in an inpatient hospital, outpatient hospital, or nursing home setting, physician services providers may receive reimbursement for the E&M visit only.
