A. The payment for morphine depends upon the coding and whether it is being administered through durable medical equipment (pump). 1.When coded as J2275-KD (administered through durable medical equipment), the 2005 Medicare reimbursement allowable for the morphine is $4.39/10 mg. 2. When coded as J3490, Medicare reimburses the morphine (and saline if added) based upon the invoice cost.
