Depo
Can you tell me the code for the depo shot?
Can my nurse charge a 99211 as well along with that?
re: Depo
What depo shot?
Effective January 1, 2013, injection administration of medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera) should be reported using HCPCS code J1050 (Injection, medroxyprogesterone acetate, 1 mg). Due to the change in dosage from the discontinued codes, when reporting code J1050, the appropriate dosage (measured in units) should be reported based on the specific needs of the patient.
Report the injection administration in addition to CPT® code 96372 (Therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic injection (specify substance or drug). Code 99211 is not assigned for this service unless totally separate evaluation was medically necessary.
