It fell under the HCPCS Level II J-code category. That is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/medicare\/coding-billing\/healthcare-common-procedure-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CMS code set<\/a> for drugs given by a route other than the mouth, which covers intravenous, subcutaneous, and intramuscular injections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vivaglobin was a 16% subcutaneous human immunoglobulin G (IgG) solution from CSL Behring, indicated for primary immunodeficiency (PI) diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subcutaneous immune globulin (SCIG) differs from intravenous formulations in both administration route and clinical setting. SCIG products like Vivaglobin were designed for self-administration or home infusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That made them significant for primary immunodeficiency patients who need frequent, ongoing replacement therapy. The 100 mg billing unit matched how payers tracked quantity across infusion sessions. A single session could involve many units, depending on the prescribed dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-j1562-at-a-glance-code-details-table\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">J1562 at a glance: Code details table<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0;border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden;font-size:15px;line-height:1.5;margin:1.5em 0 2em;box-shadow:0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.08)\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">Field<\/th>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">Detail<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">HCPCS Code<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">J1562<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0;background:#F9FAFB\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">Full description<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Injection, immune globulin (Vivaglobin), 100 mg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">Drug \/ brand name<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Vivaglobin (CSL Behring)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0;background:#F9FAFB\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">Drug class<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Immune globulin (immunoglobulin G, IgG)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">Administration route<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Subcutaneous (SCIG)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0;background:#F9FAFB\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">Billing unit<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Per 100 mg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">HCPCS level<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Level II (J-code)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0;background:#F9FAFB\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">Code status<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Deleted (AAPC lists termination as December 31, 2025)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">Covered under<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Medicare Part B (when active)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-code-status-is-j1562-a-deleted-hcpcs-code\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Code status: Is J1562 a deleted HCPCS code?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. HCPCS Code J1562 is a deleted code and is not valid on current claims. AAPC&#8217;s deleted-code index lists a termination date of December 31, 2025, which makes January 1, 2026 the first service date where the code is invalid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Submitting a deleted HCPCS code triggers rejection at the clearinghouse or payer level. Payers validate every code against the active code set for that date of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vivaglobin itself was withdrawn from the US market by CSL Behring years before the code was retired. When a drug product is discontinued, CMS eventually retires the associated J-code and directs billers to product-specific codes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is what happened across the whole subcutaneous immune globulin category. Instead of one universal successor, CMS assigned an individual code to each SCIG product on the market.

It is a not-otherwise-specified code for lyophilized intravenous immune globulin, so more than one powdered product bills under it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gammagard S\/D is the product coders most often need it for. Because it is an NOS code, payers expect the NDC and product name in the claim detail to identify what was actually given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-deleted-immune-globulin-codes-you-may-see-in-legacy-records\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deleted immune globulin codes you may see in legacy records<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three codes in this family are retired. They appear in old claim histories and in outdated crosswalk tables, which is how they end up on new claims by accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>J1562 (Vivaglobin, 100 mg).<\/strong> Deleted, with a termination date of December 31, 2025 per AAPC.

It was superseded by Q9941 and Q9943, which were themselves later replaced by product-specific J-codes. It has never been the code for Gammagard S\/D.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>J1564 (immune globulin, intravenous, 10 mg).<\/strong> Deleted on the same date as J1563, superseded by Q9942 and Q9944. It is not the Cuvitru code, despite appearing that way in several third-party crosswalks. Cuvitru bills under J1555.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lesson from all three is the same. Verify a J-code against the current CMS HCPCS release or the relevant Local Coverage Article before you trust a crosswalk you did not build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-medicare-billing-guidelines-for-hcpcs-code-j1562\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medicare billing guidelines for HCPCS Code J1562<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When J1562 was active, Medicare Part B covered immune globulin administration under the outpatient drug benefit. The billing rules for subcutaneous immune globulin carry over to the replacement codes, so they still explain how the category is handled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/medicare\/physician-fee-schedule\/search\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CMS fee schedule guidance<\/a>, immune globulin J-codes are paid on the Average Sales Price (ASP) methodology. That is ASP plus a percentage add-on that varies by policy period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key billing rules that applied to J1562, and that continue to govern its replacement codes, include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Units of service:<\/strong> Bill in the unit size defined by the code, not by the product. J1559 and J1555 bill per 100 mg, while J1561 and J1569 bill per 500 mg. Round to the nearest whole unit under CMS rounding policy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Route modifiers:<\/strong> Codes covering both routes, such as J1561 and J1569, require modifier JA for intravenous infusion or JB for subcutaneous injection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Place of service:<\/strong> Outpatient hospital (POS 22) and physician office (POS 11) both apply. Home infusion may follow a different pathway depending on whether Part B or Part D governs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bill type codes:<\/strong> Facility claims use bill type 13X for hospital outpatient. Professional claims for the office setting go on the CMS-1500.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ordering physician:<\/strong> A physician order is required, and the prescribing clinician&#8217;s NPI must appear on the claim.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NDC reporting:<\/strong> Most payers require the 11-digit NDC alongside the J-code, and NOS codes such as J1566 always do.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For practices running infusion services alongside other workflows, checking which clinicians can <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/blog\/who-can-administer-iv-vitamin-therapy\/\">administer IV therapy<\/a> by state comes before any immune globulin protocol. Scope-of-practice rules affect both clinical delivery and billing compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div id=\"pro_tip\">\n            <div class=\"img\">\n                <svg width=\"42\" height=\"42\" viewBox=\"0 0 42 42\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                        d=\"M12.6383 19.5238C12.6632 21.2071 12.8734 22.9926 12.0685 24.5523C11.0341 26.8917 8.45076 28.169 7.56292 30.5918C6.63082 33.1061 7.19505 36.185 9.31371 37.9786C10.929 39.5678 13.4183 39.9873 15.6061 39.5463C17.4592 39.073 19.1049 37.8388 19.9706 36.1608C20.781 34.7141 20.7866 32.9904 20.5293 31.3985C20.1006 29.3092 18.3775 27.8705 16.9807 26.362C14.8814 24.1005 14.6684 20.6854 15.595 17.8915C16.4331 15.4768 19.0026 14.2344 20.0425 11.9461C20.7202 10.6769 20.7506 9.20327 20.6068 7.81304C20.1864 5.40098 18.3139 3.23631 15.8716 2.56674C13.9742 2.03969 11.8224 2.30052 10.1739 3.37614C8.70522 4.34688 7.5878 5.86618 7.28356 7.58178C6.76081 9.82981 7.53525 12.2822 9.20307 13.9118C10.7658 15.4741 12.4806 17.2273 12.6383 19.5238Z\"\n                        fill=\"#2BADD4\" \/>\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                        d=\"M22.7048 19.8387C22.6822 22.3279 24.4507 24.6234 26.7493 25.4682C28.0531 25.961 29.4725 25.9183 30.7989 25.5487C32.0575 24.9955 33.301 24.2237 34.0069 23.0092C34.8384 21.5811 35.2982 19.8286 34.7832 18.2094C34.3611 16.2507 32.8739 14.6541 31.0275 13.9426C28.6736 12.9595 25.8073 13.7942 24.1719 15.7001C23.2022 16.8366 22.6143 18.3326 22.7048 19.8387Z\"\n                        fill=\"#2BADD4\" \/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"text\">\n                <h3>Pro Tip<\/h3>\n                <p>Check your Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) local coverage article before submitting any immune globulin claim.

Part B drugs in the J-code series are paid at ASP plus an add-on percentage, historically 6% and subject to sequestration adjustments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because J1562 is now deleted, no current ASP rate applies to it. Any rate you find published against the code is historical only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For current reimbursement data on the active codes, use the CMS ASP quarterly pricing files. CMS publishes them on its website and updates them every quarter. The codes to look up are J1551, J1555, J1558, J1559, J1561, J1569, and J1575 for subcutaneous products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add J1459, J1566, J1568, and J1572 if the practice also runs intravenous infusions. SCIG rates move meaningfully with ASP, which is why quarterly checks are standard in infusion billing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an outpatient infusion setting, the Medicare drug payment covers the product only.

Payers generally require the most specific code available to support medical necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practices running infusion therapy across several specialties should read the <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/blog\/iv-hydration-business-requirements-arizona\/\">IV therapy licensing rules<\/a> alongside their ICD-10 mapping. That matters most when building protocols for immunodeficiency patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-documentation-requirements-for-immune-globulin-billing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Documentation requirements for immune globulin billing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Claims for immune globulin administration face heightened scrutiny in Medicare audits. Missing or inadequate documentation is the leading reason for post-payment recoupment in this category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clinical record has to support every element of the claim. That means the diagnosis, the medical necessity decision, the product, the dose, and the administration event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Required documentation for immune globulin claims includes the following elements, consistent with CMS LCA A57778 guidance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Diagnosis documentation:<\/strong> The chart must carry a confirmed diagnosis matching the ICD-10-CM code billed. Lab values confirming IgG deficiency, such as serum IgG levels, strengthen the record considerably.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medical necessity justification:<\/strong> A physician note explaining why immune globulin replacement is clinically indicated for this patient. For new orders this is usually the initial consultation note or immunology workup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prescription or order:<\/strong> A signed physician order specifying product, dose, route, and frequency, with the prescribing clinician&#8217;s NPI documented.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Infusion administration record:<\/strong> Date of service, product name and lot number, dose in mg, start and stop times, administration site, and any adverse reactions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nursing or clinical notes:<\/strong> Evidence of patient monitoring during and after administration, especially for the first few infusions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quantity verification:<\/strong> Units billed must match the dose given. Divide total milligrams by the code&#8217;s unit size, which is 100 mg for J1559 and 500 mg for J1569.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Digital documentation tools reduce the risk of incomplete records. Practices using <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/features\/patient-intake-software\/\">digital clinical documentation forms<\/a> can build structured infusion logs that capture every required field by default, which makes an omission much harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pabau.com\/cdn\/attachments\/pulse\/content-engine\/billing_codes\/hcpcs-code-j1562\/digital-forms.webp\" alt=\"Pabau medical form templates with a patient history form previewed on a tablet\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Pabau&#8217;s digital forms let you build an infusion record that asks for product, dose, and lot number every time.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px;width:800px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For practices that manage home infusion referrals alongside in-office administration, the product and dose must be documented consistently across every encounter type. Inconsistency between the prescription, the infusion record, and the claim is a common audit trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/templates\/iv-therapy-patient-intake\/\">IV therapy intake documentation<\/a> gives a practical starting point for building infusion records that capture billing-critical data from the first visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-common-j1562-coding-errors-and-how-to-avoid-them\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common J1562 coding errors and how to avoid them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immune globulin denials cluster around a handful of repeatable mistakes. Each one is preventable at the point of claim entry, which is where a check costs minutes rather than months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Billing a deleted code from a legacy template.<\/strong> J1562, J1563, and J1564 all live on in old superbills and saved claim templates. Retire them in your system rather than relying on memory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carrying the code forward when the product changes.<\/strong> A patient switched from Hizentra to Cuvitru moves from J1559 to J1555. The unit size happens to match, so the error survives a quick review.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mixing up unit sizes.<\/strong> A 500 mg code billed as though it were a 100 mg code overstates units fivefold and reads as an overpayment in audit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dropping the JA or JB modifier<\/strong> on a dual-route code such as J1561 or J1569.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Omitting the NDC<\/strong> on an NOS code such as J1566, which leaves the payer unable to identify the product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trusting a third-party crosswalk.<\/strong> Several published tables still map J1563 to Gammagard S\/D and J1564 to Cuvitru. Both mappings are wrong.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AAPC&#8217;s index of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aapc.com\/codes\/hcpcs-codes-range\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">HCPCS Level II codes<\/a> and the current CMS HCPCS release are the two sources to confirm code status against. Practices administering immune globulin should review both at least annually, alongside the quarterly ASP pricing updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mobile and home infusion add a wrinkle, because coding accuracy then depends on records that travel with the patient. The rules for <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/blog\/mobile-iv-therapy-business\/\">mobile IV therapy records<\/a> apply to immune globulin exactly as they apply to hydration.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div id=\"pro_tip\">\n            <div class=\"img\">\n                <svg width=\"42\" height=\"42\" viewBox=\"0 0 42 42\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                        d=\"M12.6383 19.5238C12.6632 21.2071 12.8734 22.9926 12.0685 24.5523C11.0341 26.8917 8.45076 28.169 7.56292 30.5918C6.63082 33.1061 7.19505 36.185 9.31371 37.9786C10.929 39.5678 13.4183 39.9873 15.6061 39.5463C17.4592 39.073 19.1049 37.8388 19.9706 36.1608C20.781 34.7141 20.7866 32.9904 20.5293 31.3985C20.1006 29.3092 18.3775 27.8705 16.9807 26.362C14.8814 24.1005 14.6684 20.6854 15.595 17.8915C16.4331 15.4768 19.0026 14.2344 20.0425 11.9461C20.7202 10.6769 20.7506 9.20327 20.6068 7.81304C20.1864 5.40098 18.3139 3.23631 15.8716 2.56674C13.9742 2.03969 11.8224 2.30052 10.1739 3.37614C8.70522 4.34688 7.5878 5.86618 7.28356 7.58178C6.76081 9.82981 7.53525 12.2822 9.20307 13.9118C10.7658 15.4741 12.4806 17.2273 12.6383 19.5238Z\"\n                        fill=\"#2BADD4\" \/>\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                        d=\"M22.7048 19.8387C22.6822 22.3279 24.4507 24.6234 26.7493 25.4682C28.0531 25.961 29.4725 25.9183 30.7989 25.5487C32.0575 24.9955 33.301 24.2237 34.0069 23.0092C34.8384 21.5811 35.2982 19.8286 34.7832 18.2094C34.3611 16.2507 32.8739 14.6541 31.0275 13.9426C28.6736 12.9595 25.8073 13.7942 24.1719 15.7001C23.2022 16.8366 22.6143 18.3326 22.7048 19.8387Z\"\n                        fill=\"#2BADD4\" \/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"text\">\n                <h3>Pro Tip<\/h3>\n                <p>Reconcile your drug dispense records against your J-code assignments every quarter.

The harder half is the assumption that one replacement exists. Seven active codes cover subcutaneous immune globulin today, and the right one turns on the brand administered and the route used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the habit worth building is a small one. Read the product off the infusion record before you pick the code, then check that code against the current CMS release before you submit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those two steps catch the dual-route modifier, and they catch the crosswalks that still map J1563 and J1564 to the wrong products. <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/book-demo\/\">Book a demo<\/a> to see how Pabau ties

class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is HCPCS Code J1562?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">HCPCS Code J1562 is a deleted Level II code. It described the injection of immune globulin under the brand name Vivaglobin, billed per 100 mg. It covered subcutaneous administration of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in patients with primary immunodeficiency. The code has since been retired and is no longer valid for claim submission.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786626465007\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is J1562 a deleted HCPCS code?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. J1562 is listed as a deleted HCPCS code, with a termination date of December 31, 2025 in AAPC&#8217;s deleted-code index. Any claim carrying it for a service date on or after January 1, 2026 will be rejected. Use the active product-specific J-code for whichever immune globulin product was actually administered.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786626465008\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What replaced HCPCS Code J1562?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No single code replaced it. Seven active codes cover subcutaneous immune globulin: J1551 (Cutaquig), J1555 (Cuvitru), J1558 (Xembify), J1559 (Hizentra), J1561 (Gamunex-C\/Gammaked), J1569 (Gammagard Liquid), and J1575 (HyQvia). The correct code depends on the brand administered. J1561 and J1569 also cover intravenous use, so they need modifier JA or JB.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786626465012\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is J1563 the correct code for Gammagard S\/D?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. J1563 is a deleted code that described intravenous immune globulin, 1 g. Medicare stopped paying it on April 1, 2005 and it was deleted effective January 1, 2006, superseded by Q9941 and Q9943. Gammagard S\/D is a lyophilized intravenous product, so it bills under J1566 with the NDC reported alongside the code.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786626465009\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What ICD-10 codes support medical necessity for immune globulin billing?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The primary ICD-10-CM codes include D80.0 (hereditary hypogammaglobulinemia) and D80.1 (nonfamilial hypogammaglobulinemia). Others are D80.3 (selective IgG deficiency), D80.6 (antibody deficiency with near-normal immunoglobulins), and D83.9 (common variable immunodeficiency, unspecified). Consult CMS Local Coverage Article A57778 for the full covered diagnosis list that applies in your MAC jurisdiction.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786626465010\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the documentation requirements for J1562 and its replacement codes?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Documentation must include a confirmed diagnosis with supporting lab values such as serum IgG levels, and a signed physician order specifying product, dose, and route. You also need an infusion administration record with product name, lot number, dose in mg, and start and stop times, plus clinical monitoring notes. Units billed must match the milligrams administered divided by the code&#8217;s unit size.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786626465011\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the difference between J1562 and J1561?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">J1562, now deleted, covered Vivaglobin, a subcutaneous immune globulin billed per 100 mg. J1561 is an active code covering Gamunex-C and Gammaked, non-lyophilized immune globulin billed per 500 mg. Gamunex-C can be given intravenously or subcutaneously, so J1561 requires modifier JA or JB. The two codes differ in product, unit size, and modifier rules, and are not interchangeable.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J1562 is deleted.
