Reader Question:
If Doctor Furnishes Drug, Use 90782
Published on Thu Apr 01, 2004
Question: If a patient presents with his own Zoladex (J9202), what should we use for the administration? Answer: You should report Zoladex administration (90782, Therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic injection [specify material injected]; subcutaneous or intra-muscular) only when the oncologist or staff furnishes and provides the drug. If a staff member administers Zoladex, the physician must supervise the procedure.
