Alternative to Decadron / admin code

Since Medicare won't pay for a decadron injection, our Doctor asked me to research and see if Medicare will pay for a Celestone Injection. Also, what administration code do we use for injections? I know about the G008 for flu vaccine, but not sure for injections.

Administration code is 96372. Medicare does pay for Decadron J1100.

Not coming up on fee schedule which usually means they do not pay.
