Billing and Coding GuideIntroductionOtonomy, Inc. has developed this reference guide to provide general billing and coding information related toOTIPRIO for physician and hospital billing staff when used in the ambulatory surgical center (ASC), hospitaloutpatient department (HOPD), or hospital inpatient setting. To assist you in preparing claims, this guidecontains the following:uReimbursement OverviewuBilling and Coding InformationuFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Reimbursement OverviewCoverage and coding guidelines for OTIPRIO and its administration will differ by insurer and are updated regularly.In addition, payment rates may vary by insurer and are frequently established by the provider’s specific contract.It is a best practice to contact your patient’s health insurance company directly to ensure that you have themost recent local billing, coding, and coverage policy information, as well as answer any payment inquiries.Codes allow healthcare providers to communicate with insurance companies to facilitate the reimbursementprocess and explain why the patient needed treatment, what drugs and services were provided, and whereservices were rendered. Coding guidelines may differ by insurer and are often updated regularly to reflect theaddition and deletion of applicable codes. The following table provides an overview of the different codesand their description that may be applicable when billing for items and services related to OTIPRIO.Code SetDescription/PurposeCPT 1 Codes(Level I HCPCS Codes)Numeric coding system used to report medical services and procedures provided by healthcare professionals;includes CPT E/M codes, which are numeric codes used to report office visit services provided by physiciansHCPCS Level II CodesAlpha-numeric coding system used to report specific drugs, supplies, and other healthcare equipmentICD-9-CM/ICD-10-CMDiagnosis CodesNumeric and alpha-numeric codes used to report diagnosisICD-9-CM/ICD-10-PCSProcedure CodesNumeric and alpha-numeric codes used to report procedures, services, devices, and drugs in acute-carehospitals and other facility-based settingsNDCNumeric product identifier used to report human drugsRevenue CodesNumeric codes used by hospitals to report services and supplies to specific cost centersLegendCPT : Current Procedural TerminologyHCPCS: Healthcare Common Procedure Coding SystemICD-9-CM: International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical ModificationICD-10-CM: International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical ModificationICD-10-PCS: International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding SystemNDC: National Drug CodeCPT copyright 2014 American Medical Association.

OTIPRIO (ciprofloxacin otic suspension) 6%In addition, coverage and payment will also vary based on individual patient insurance parameters and providercontracts. An overview of the major insurer types is provided below.Private/ CommercialPrivate insurance coverage policies for OTIPRIO and its administration may vary. Each private insurer determinesits own coverage policies for drugs and procedures. In addition, most insurers offer multiple plans; coverage forprocedures and/or drugs may vary depending on the details of that exact plan.MedicaidIn general, state Medicaid programs will cover drugs for their FDA-approved indications. It will be important tounderstand your state Medicaid program’s specific coverage criteria for OTIPRIO and its administration as eachstate’s Medicaid agency determines its own coverage and payment policies. Medicaid recipients may also havethe opportunity to enroll in managed care organizations (MCOs) offered in a particular state. Typically, ManagedMedicaid guidelines for coverage are similar to private or commercial insurers and often vary by plan.MedicareTraditional or fee-for-service Medicare consists of beneficiaries who receive their medical benefits throughthe following:u MedicarePart A: Inpatient services, hospitalizations, hospice care, skilled nursing facility stays, and somehome health servicesu MedicarePart B: Physician and outpatient services, durable medical equipment (DME), and some homehealth care, laboratory serviceCurrently, there is no Medicare national coverage determination (NCD) for OTIPRIO. As with most Part Bcovered drugs, local Medicare contractors have the discretion to develop local coverage determinations(LCDs) if necessary.Formal published guidelines may be developed for certain products and procedures when insurers are concernedabout appropriate utilization and costs; published policies regarding coverage for OTIPRIO may not be available.Contacting each patient’s insurance company to understand the specific guidelines for OTIPRIO is recommended.Please see Indication and Important Safety Information for OTIPRIOon page 4. Please see accompanying full Prescribing Information.6

Billing and Coding GuideCoding for OTIPRIORegardless of the setting of care in which the drug was administered, most payers require providers to listan HCPCS code and the NDC code on the claim form when billing for a particular drug.HCPCS Level II Codes for OTIPRIOMost payers recognize Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II national codes toidentify and report drugs.Effective July 1, 2016, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) granted transitional pass-throughstatus for OTIPRIO. When pass-through status is granted, CMS creates a unique HCPCS code, or “C-Code,”which billers can use to identify the drug on the claim form. For more information on pass-through payment,please see page 8.HCPCS CodeDescriptionC9479*Instillation, ciprofloxacin otic suspension, 6 mgJ3490†Unclassified drugs* Note on reporting C9479: Each vial of C9479 contains 60 mg. If one single-use vial is used for both patient’s ears with the remainder of the drug in the vialunused, then two units of C9479 should be reported on the claim form as administered to the patient; any discarded amount should be reported with theJW modifier according to the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 17, Drugs and Biologicals; Section 40, Discarded Drugs and Biologicals.† Note on reporting J3490: If the patient’s insurer does not accept C9479, you may need to report OTIPRIO using J3490. Report only one unit of J3490on the claim form per single-patient use vial. Do not bill wastage.Please consult payer-specific guidelines for the appropriate code to use for OTIPRIO to communicate whichdrug was provided and how much was administered.Please see Indication and Important Safety Information for OTIPRIOon page 4. Please see accompanying full Prescribing Information.7

OTIPRIO (ciprofloxacin otic suspension) 6%About Transitional Pass-Through PaymentTransitional pass-through status is a temporary payment policy granted by the Centers for Medicare & MedicaidServices (CMS), the federal agency that administers the Medicare program. When a drug is granted pass-throughstatus by CMS, ambulatory surgery centers and other outpatient facilities are eligible to receive separate paymentfor the drug, in addition to the payment received for the patient encounter for Medicare patients. Pass-throughstatus remains in effect for 2 to 3 years.When pass-through status is granted, CMS creates a temporary, unique Healthcare Common Procedure CodingSystem (HCPCS) code, or “C-Code,” which billers use to identify the drug on the claim form.Pass-through status is applicable to Medicare patients only. However, some Medicaid and commercial plans mayallow providers that treat non-Medicare patients to use the C-Code when billing, in lieu of an unlisted “J-Code”– and even more, some may recognize Medicare’s pass-through status policy and allow for separate payment fordrugs with pass-through status which would otherwise not be allowed separate reimbursement.Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and other hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) may be eligible to receiveseparate payment for OTIPRIO, in addition to the payment received for the patient encounter when providers billfor OTIPRIO using HCPCS code C9479.National Drug Code (NDC)The FDA and the manufacturer assign drugs/biologics a unique, 3-segment number, known as the National DrugCode (NDC). Many NDCs (including the one assigned to OTIPRIO) are displayed in a 10-digit format on theFDA-approved product labelling. Proper billing for most payers or electronic data interchange systems requiresthat the NDC be submitted in the 11-digit numeric 5-4-2 format (ie, 55555-4444-22). Converting a 10-digit NDCto 11-digit format requires a strategically placed zero preceding the section that does not comply with the5-4-2 format. Do not use hyphens when entering the actual data on your claim.For example:10-Digit FormatOTIPRIO10-Digit NDC11-Digit FormatOTIPRIO11-Digit NDCReporting onclaim Please see Indication and Important Safety Information for OTIPRIOon page 4. Please see accompanying full Prescribing Information.8

Billing and Coding GuideCoding for Physician ServicesCoding procedures may vary depending on the setting of care. In the physician office, HOPD, and ASC, CPT codesare used to describe procedures. In the hospital inpatient department, billers are required to use ICD-10-PCS codesto bill for procedures.Potential CPT CodesCurrent Procedural Terminology (CPT ) codes are used to identify professional services (ie, drug administration).According to the CPT instructions for use of the CPT codebook, select the name of the procedure or service thataccurately identifies the service performed. Do not select a CPT code that merely approximates the service provided.When provided during tube placement surgery, the administration of OTIPRIO is considered inclusive of the primaryprocedure and therefore not coded separately. Providers should use the appropriate tympanostomy CPT code thatbest describes the services provided. Also, when performed bilaterally, report with modifier 50.CPT CodeDescription69433Tympanostomy (requiring insertion of ventilating tube), local or topical anesthesia69436Tympanostomy (requiring insertion of ventilating tube), general anesthesiaPotential ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS Procedure CodesICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes are typically used to bill for procedures performed on inpatients. EffectiveOctober 1, 2015, all Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-covered entities were requiredto transition from the ICD-9-CM coding system and bill procedures using ICD-10-PCS.There is no category-specific code for drugs administered via intratympanic administration. Hospitals maytherefore choose the code that best describes the procedure. Below is a list of the existing ICD-9-CM code andthe ICD-10-PCS Crosswalk that may be applicable for describing the administration of OTIPRIO when administeredduring tube placement surgery.ICD-9-CM Procedure CodeICD-10-PCS3E0B7GC Introduction of other therapeutic substance into ear, via natural or artificial opening20.94 Injection of tympanum3E0B3GC Introduction of other therapeutic substance into ear, percutaneous approach3E0BXGC Introduction of other therapeutic substance into ear, external approach099500Z Drainage of right middle ear with drainage device, open approach20.01 Myringotomy withinsertion of tube099600Z Drainage of left middle ear with drainage device, open approach099770Z Drainage of right tympanic membrane with drainage device, via natural or artificial opening099870Z Drainage of left tympanic membrane with drainage device, via natural or artificial openingPlease see Indication and Important Safety Information for OTIPRIOon page 4.

Billing and Coding GuideFrequently Asked QuestionsQ1: What HCPCS code do I use to bill for OTIPRIO?Effective July 1, 2016, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) granted transitional pass-through statusfor OTIPRIO. When pass-through status is granted, CMS creates a unique Healthcare Common Procedure CodingSystem (HCPCS) code, or “C-Code,” which billers can use to identify the drug on the claim form. Some insurerswill not accept C-Codes and require providers to bill using an unclassified HCPCS code or “unlisted J-Code” whena permanent “J-Code” is not available. These coding options are available on page 7 of the billing and coding guide.Please consult payer-specific guidelines for the appropriate code to use for OTIPRIO to communicate which drugwas provided and how much was administered.Q2: My patient’s insurer won’t allow me to bill using the OTIPRIO C-Code and says I must bill usingthe unclassified HCPCS drug code J3490. What else do I need to know about coding OTIPRIO withan unclassified HCPCS drug code?OTIPRIO was approved in 2015. Not all insurers will be familiar with OTIPRIO. Hence, the product may be billedusing an unclassified drug code until OTIPRIO is assigned its own product-specific code.2 The patient’s insurer mayneed more information if they are unfamiliar with OTIPRIO; therefore, the provider’s billing staff should be preparedto submit the following information if requested:uDrug name (brand/generic)uRoute of administrationuDrug strength and dosageu11-digit National Drug Code (NDC)uCustomized letter of medical necessityuInvoiceuFDA approval letteruPackage insertuChart notesuLaboratory test resultsu Patientumedical history and documentation of medical necessityPrior therapiesu Supportingpeer-reviewed medical journals and other clinical literatureUnclassified codes do not have “unit values” and are generally reported as “1 Unit” on the claim form or its electronic equivalent,regardless of the amount of drug administered. Check payer guidelines for appropriate reporting of units for an unclassified code.2 Please see Indication and Important Safety Information for OTIPRIOon page 4. Please see accompanying full Prescribing Information.11

OTIPRIO (ciprofloxacin otic suspension) 6%Frequently Asked Questions (cont.)Q3: What CPT code do I use to bill for the administration of OTIPRIO in the ASC or HOPD?When provided during tube placement surgery, the administration of OTIPRIO is considered inclusive of theprimary procedure and therefore not coded separately. Providers should use the appropriate tympanostomyCPT code (69433 or 69436) that best describes the services provided. Also, when performed bilaterally,report with modifier 50.It is important to remember that insurers’ billing and coding guidelines may vary. Please contact the patient’sinsurer if you have any questions related to coding.Q4: How do I know if OTIPRIO is covered for my patient?Otonomy does not anticipate that many payers will develop a formal policy regarding coverage for OTIPRIO.In general, it is a good rule of thumb to contact each payer to verify coverage parameters prior to the procedure.Q5: What is the reimbursement for OTIPRIO?Reimbursement for OTIPRIO will be based on the contracted arrangement between the provider and the payer.Please contact your patient’s insurer for specific information on payment rates and to understand how OTIPRIOis reimbursed.Please see Indication and Important Safety Information for OTIPRIOon page 4. Please see accompanying full Prescribing Information.12
