2018 CMS Updated Annual Clotting Factor Furnishing Fee
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) includes the clotting factor furnishing fee in the published national payment limits for clotting factor billing codes. When the national payment limit for a clotting factor is not included on the Average Sales Price (ASP) Medicare Part B Drug Pricing File or the Not Otherwise Classified (NOC) Pricing File, the MACs make payment for the clotting factor as well as payment for the furnishing fee. For dates of service from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, the clotting factor furnishing fee of $0.215 per unit is added to the payment limit for the clotting factor.
