Pro Pharma Pharmaceutical Consultants, Inc., a pharmaceutical consultant organization which focuses on data analytical expertise, announced today that it has introduced NEW and IMPROVED Enhancements to the JCode Calculator™ Third Quarter 2010 Update (issued 10-11-10) via their secured web access for claims and billing professionals.
Pro Pharma has developed this Standardized Injectable Fee Schedule to assist with management of claims payment of self injectables, vaccines, immunizations and cancer therapeutic agents.
Key Areas of Client Interest Are:
• Difference Between Brand & Generic Drugs;
• Differentiation Between MMA Part B vs. part D Drugs;
• Identification of diagnosis for a drug.
“This update includes more than 80% price changes in our entire JCode Calculator™ database which consists of greater than 1600 entries. Additionally, this reflects all of the many AWP decreases mandated by the FDB-MediSpan recent court decision, and few price increases but they were minimal this quarter”, said Craig Stern, PharmD, MBA, President of Pro Pharma. “Now claims and billing professionals are able to Identify all JCodes for any drug within seconds. Every entry on the Jcode Calculator™ has a field that allows Billing and Claims Professionals to click and see all JCodes that pertain to that drug. This is only one of numerous filters that are user friendly, and customization is available per client request.”

• HCPCS Code (including A, J, Q and S Codes)
