HCPCS Code J7999: Compounded Drug, Not Otherwise Classified

It takes several hours, depending on the complexity of the medication being compounded.

Use J7999 when multiple drugs are compounded into a single formulation or when the drug lacks a specific HCPCS code—regardless of whether one of the components has its own code. If the product is not compounded (i.e., “off-the-shelf”), use the specific HCPCS code for that drug.

No. Medicare does not cover self-administered compounded drugs under J7999. The code applies only to provider-administered or DME-infused items.
