Oncology Drug Index/ACCC's Compendia-Based Drug Bulletin

ACCC's Compendia–Based Drug Bulletin has been the standard reference for oncology reimbursement for more than two decades. Currently, under revisement, a new drug guide will be available in 2010.

ACCC will notify members when they can expect an updated publication that reflects indications within these newly recognized compendia.

Be advised, this database reflects data current as of June 2008. Issues from 2002-2008 are archived and available online.

Search either by drug name (or part of it) or by indication (please use lower case).

You can download the most recent issues of the ACCC's Compendia-Based Drug Bulletin in PDF format.

ACCC's Compendia-Based Drug Bulletin is NOT a Medicare-recognized compendium. The Compendia-Based Drug Bulletin is a quarterly update of information on oncology drugs recognized by the two national reference compendia: The United States Pharmacopeia's (USP) Drug Information for the Health Care Professional, Volume I, or USP DI, and The American Hospital Formulary Service's Drug information (AHFS-DI).

In July 2007, one of the recognized drug compendia, the USP's USP DI Drug Information for the Health Care Professional, was succeeded by Thomson Healthcare's DrugPoints®. Because CMS has yet to provide clarity with regards to indications as they appear in DrugPoints®, ACCC has not included DrugPointsۮ in its Compendia-Based Drug Bulletin.

The Compendia-Based Drug Bulletin and the oncology drug index database accessed on this page are a resource updated in February, May, August, and November.

Every effort is made to ensure completeness and accuracy of all indications and ICD-9 codes. Coding is checked by a coding consultant. Indications are drawn from the published and online versions of the former USP DI and the current AHFS-DI.

Printed copies are mailed to ACCC members. Non-ACCC members may consider joining the Association to enjoy this and many other member benefits. Please direct your questions about the Compendia-Based Drug Bulletin and other ACCC publications to Don Jewler, ACCC Communications Director, at djewler@accc-cancer.org.
