Injection drug codes
I am developing an EMR template for one of our Family Practice providers. She does injections of Tramadol 30mg. Are there separate drug and administration codes for it?
Thanks.

You mean Toradol?

Yes.
Buy a HCPCS book for medications, which are J codes.
Look at the CPT® book in the medicine section for injection codes.
If you pay for the medication, bill for both the injection and the medication.
