Effective with date of service April 7, 2020, the Medicaid and NC Health Choice programs cover meloxicam injection, for intravenous use (Anjeso™) for use in the Physician Administered Drug Program (PADP) when billed with HCPCS code J3490 - Unclassified drugs.
Strength/Package Size(s): Injection: 30 mg/mL single-dose vial
Indicated for use in adults for the management of moderate-to-severe pain, alone or in combination with non-NSAID analgesics.

Recommended Dose: 30 mg once daily, administered by intravenous bolus injection over 15 seconds. See full prescribing information for further detail.
