Sanofi Genzyme is committed to ensuring all patients with aTTP have access to treatment with CABLIVI. The information below will help guide you in obtaining coverage for your patients.
*This information is subject to change and providers should consult relevant references for the description of each code to determine its appropriateness. Use of the information below does not guarantee that the payer will provide coverage for CABLIVI and is not intended to be a substitute for, or an influence on, the independent medical judgment of the prescriber.
The codes discussed below are provided for informational purposes only, are subject to change, and should not be construed as legal advice. The codes listed herein may not apply to all patients or to all health plans. Conversely, additional codes not listed may apply to some patients.
Like other drugs, CABLIVI is expected to be bundled into inpatient payment rates (ie, MS-DRGs) when used in the hospital setting. The 3 MS-DRGs that represent the greatest number of potential patients who may be eligible for treatment involving CABLIVI are shown in the table below.
| 545 | Connective Tissue Disorders With MCC |
| 546 | Connective Tissue Disorders With CC |
| 547 | Connective Tissue Disorders Without CC/MCC |
The specifics of coverage may vary by payer. Please refer to the individual patient’s plan to determine any applicable coverage requirements.
For patients covered by Medicare, drug costs for doses administered in the hospital are typically included in the MS-DRG payment and are covered under Medicare Part A. After inpatient discharge, most patients will self-administer CABLIVI at home; these drug costs are expected to be covered under the Medicare Part D (pharmacy) benefit.
CMS has approved CABLIVI’s application for an NTAP for FY2020, effective October 1, 2019. The maximum NTAP for CABLIVI is $33,215 for FY2020. Specifically, if the cost of CABLIVI exceeds the full DRG payment (including payments for IME and DSH, but excluding outlier payments), Medicare will make an add-on payment equal to the lesser of: 65% of the cost of CABLIVI or 65% of the amount by which the costs of the case exceed the standard DRG payment.2,3
The specifics of coverage may vary by payer and can be specific to the patient’s unique plan. Please reference the individual patient’s plan to determine any applicable coverage requirements.
There is no specific ICD-10-CM code for aTTP. Providers should always review payer-specific materials and use their own clinical judgment when submitting claims for use of CABLIVI. However, there are 3 ICD-10-PCS codes that describe the specific procedure of injecting CABLIVI in the hospital inpatient setting to ensure that NTAP is considered.

This guide highlights key information related to the procurement of, and patient access to, CABLIVI.
aTTP=acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura; CC=complication or comorbidity; CMS=Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; DRG=Diagnosis Related Group; DSH=disproportionate share hospital; ICD-10-CM=International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification; ICD-10-PCS=International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System; IME=indirect medical education; MCC=major complication or comorbidity; MS-DRG=Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group.
†Thrombotic microangiopathy has the inclusion note of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, which would describe aTTP.
CABLIVI is contraindicated in patients with a previous severe hypersensitivity reaction to caplacizumab-yhdp or to any of its excipients. Hypersensitivity reactions have included urticaria.
Bleeding Risk:
The most common adverse reactions (>15% of patients) were epistaxis (29%), headache (21%) and gingival bleeding (16%).
Concomitant use of CABLIVI with any anticoagulant may increase the risk of bleeding. Assess and monitor closely for bleeding with concomitant use.
There are no available data on CABLIVI use in pregnant women to inform a drug associated risk of major birth defects and miscarriage.
CABLIVI (caplacizumab-yhdp) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP), in combination with plasma exchange and immunosuppressive therapy.
