Question: What code should I bill for progesterone 200mg? Can you bill for the administration?

Answer: Assuming you're referring to progesterone injected in the office, you should report J2675 (Injection, progesterone, per 50 mg) with a quantity of 4 to represent 200 mg of the substance.

For the administration, you should use therapeutic intramuscular injection code CPT 96372 (Therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic injection [specify substance or drug]; subcutaneous or intramuscular).
