CR 12342 tells you about the Average Sales Price (ASP) methodology, which CMS bases on quarterly data manufacturers submit to us. We give the MACs ASP and Not Otherwise Classified (NOC) drug pricing files for Medicare Part B drugs on a quarterly basis. We include payment allowance limits under the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) into the Outpatient Code Editor (OCE) through separate instructions in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 4, Section 50. Please make sure your billing staff is aware of these updates.
