   The physician I work for has the nurse routinely give shots such as Rocephin, etc. as needed. How do I bill for those injections?

   Charge 96372 (Therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic injection [specify substance or drug]; subcutaneous or intramuscular) for the administration of the drugs, provided the procedure is eligible for separate payment. Report the appropriate J code for the drug, provided your office paid for the supply. Pay close attention to the dosage, as some drugs may be “per 250 mg.

   You may only use the 96372 if the patient does not have an E/M code associated with the service. Also, Medicare/Medicaid(for adults) will only pay for Rocephin for UTIs and pneumonia. An ABN should be obtained for the injection for other diagnoses.
