99211

Dear Sir,
I read your article about 99211 and an injection. What do you do if the patient
brings her own b-12 medicine. I can't bill an admin code of 96372 when I don't
show any injection can I? Could I not bill a 99211 then?

Yes you can

We use 96372- admin therapeutic injection when the patient supplies their own med and get paid. There is no need to have a J code with it. Link it to the diagnosis for the shot- anemia, b12 deficiency, etc. NO 99211!!!!!

Bill for the administration. It most accurately describes the service provided. It is not unusual for the patient to provide the medication.
