About DACOGEN

Dacogen is a medication aligned to the HCPCS J Code: J0894 for billing, pricing, and reimbursement purposes in the United States. This Oncology medication is administered via the intravenous route and manufactured by multiple companies.

According to CMS Drug Use Information: This medication is used to treat a group of blood/bone marrow disorders (myelodysplastic syndromes-MDS) in which the bone marrow does not produce enough healthy blood cells. People with MDS may have problems such as infections, anemia, and easy bleeding/bruising. Decitabine is a chemotherapy drug. It is believed to work by helping your bone marrow grow normal blood cells so you will need fewer blood transfusions. Decitabine also kills abnormal blood cells that have grown too fast and do not work properly.
