a permanent J-code, J1449, has been issued for ROLVEDON by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) effective as of April 1, 2023.

“This is an important milestone in the ROLVEDON launch. A permanent J-code will enable a more efficient and predictable reimbursement in the outpatient setting. The combination of a permanent J-code on April 1, 2023 and ROLVEDON’S inclusion in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® Supportive Care Guidelines (NCCN Guidelines) announced on December 6, 2022 are key elements in establishing brand awareness and building customer confidence in our novel product,” said Tom Riga, President and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals.

J-codes are permanent reimbursement codes used by commercial insurance plans, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and other government payers for Medicare Part B drugs like ROLVEDON that are administered by a physician. Claims submission and documentation are simplified with a permanent J-code, facilitating and streamlining the billing and reimbursement process.
