However, she suggests that you contact the carrier/MAC in your area, since this is a physician coverage issue. Also, she wasnt sure what the HCPCS code is for the drug, if Medicare has assigned one. Using a HCPCS code might produce some additional information. I hope that helps! Hi Donna,

I have a question regarding the Aloxi drug that Medicare recently approved. We are on the physician side and from what all that I have read. It looks like there are specific dx codes that need to be billed with this drug as well as pertinent cpt codes to go along with it. My question is I am having a hard time finding the reimbursement info. Can you help? I would really appreciate that. Thank-you.
