Make sure the authorization is for Inflectra.
FDA’s Purple Book lists Inflectra (infliximab-dyyb) as a biosimilar to Remicade under the 351(k) pathway and as a 100 mg single-dose vial for IV use. CMS lists HCPCS Q5103 for Inflectra, with each billing unit representing 10 mg. The treatment site can use Q5103 as a checkpoint when comparing the medicine prescribed, authorized and billed. A billing code does not guarantee coverage.
- Do the prescription and authorization name Inflectra or infliximab-dyyb?
- Does the current plan rule list Inflectra as preferred, nonpreferred or not addressed?
- Is the infusion site named or restricted in the authorization?
- If a claim failed, do Inflectra, the Q5103 units, service date and site match the approval?

Choose the diagnosis and coverage type. The tool keeps Inflectra selected while you check the plan source and product-preference detail.
Choose the diagnosis / reason.
The same infliximab product family can have very different medical-necessity requirements by diagnosis.
Match the Inflectra approval to the planned infusion.
If Inflectra is preferred
Confirm that the prescriber, authorization team and infusion site all have the Inflectra-specific approval before treatment. An approval that says only “infliximab” may not be specific enough.
If an approved claim fails
Compare the authorization with infliximab-dyyb, Q5103 units, date, treatment location and provider on the claim before treating it as a new medical-necessity denial.

Look for Inflectra or infliximab-dyyb. CMS lists Q5103 for Inflectra, with each billing unit representing 10 mg; the treatment site should verify current payer and CMS coding for the claim.
How can I compare Inflectra with other infliximab products?
Compare other infliximab products and coverage considerations, including reference-product, biosimilar, route and common access questions.
