A4301 Peritoneal catheter placed in an office (POS 11)

Date: Oct 15, 2018

Question:

When the place of service is 11 (office), can I code for a peritoneal catheter HCPCS A4301? The note that follows the code listed in the HCPCS book states: "Service not priced by Part B." But when I checked the Medicare, NGS Medicare, they are showing A4301 under Jurisdiction Part B MAC. Can it be billed to Part B? If so, how should it be priced? NGS is not showing an amount.
