Depo-Provera for Contraception
Depo-Provera is a long-term injectable contraceptive, administered in 150 mg doses every three months. The previous HCPCS codes for subcutaneous medroxyprogesterone (J1051, J1055, J1056) have been replaced by a single 1 mg code, J1050. When billing Depo-Provera injections, submit HCPCS code J1050 with the appropriate units of service. Since the code description is based on 1mg, providers should bill the applicable units based on the 1mg
