Summary
Effective January 1, 2009, renal dialysis facilities must use new HCPCS code J1750 for Iron Dextran 50mg injections instead of obsolete code Q4098. All injectable drugs for outpatient renal dialysis require NDC reporting, and incorrect billing requires voiding and rebilling claims.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must update system to use HCPCS code J1750 instead of Q4098 for Iron Dextran 50mg injections on all renal dialysis claims (Category of Service 25). Ensure NDC reporting is included on all injectable drug claims. If claims are denied due to incorrect billing, void and rebill with proper codes and NDC information.
