IntroductionINFLECTRA was approved on April 5, 2016, under the 351(k) approval pathway as the first infliximab biosimilar in the US. For biosimilars such as INFLECTRA, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has assigned Q codes to identify and distinguish biosimilars from the reference biologic.
Coverage for INFLECTRACoverage for INFLECTRA may vary across commercial payers, Medicare, and Medicaid, and by treatment site of care. HCPs should confirm payer policies prior to treating patients with INFLECTRA.
Coding OverviewIn the physician office and hospital outpatient department (HOPD) sites of care, Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), private commercial payers, and Medicaid typically recognize the following codes for reporting INFLECTRA on claim forms. Effective for dates of service on or after April 1, 2018, CMS has assigned a new product-specific HCPCS code for INFLECTRA. The previously assigned HCPCS code and manufacturer HCPCS modifier (Q5102 and modifier ZB) have been discontinued.

Additional Coding InformationWhen HCPs bill and code for INFLECTRA, they should consider the following information:
INFLECTRA Billing UnitsThe INFLECTRA HCPCS code is Q5103, described as “Injection, infliximab-dyyb, biosimilar, (inflectra), 10 mg.” This HCPCS code is effective for dates of service on or after April 1, 2018. Note that this is a different HCPCS code than is used to bill for the reference product for INFLECTRA. Each dose increment of 10 mg equals 1 billing unit. A 100 mg vial of INFLECTRA represents 10 units of Q5103. See the chart below correlating vials of INFLECTRA administered with the number of mg of drug and number of billing units based on the description of Q5103.
