Is anyone having any problems with this new code? In all my coding information it states not to use 99211 with medication injections. What has changed? Is there a link explaining the CPT changes for 2009? Thanks.
actually, nothing has changed regarding the use of the administration code except the code number. The "old"code 90772 states:
>Physicians do not report 90772 for injections given without direct physician supervision. To reort, use 99211. Hospitals may report 90772 when the physician is not present<
The "new" code 96372 states:
>Physicians do not report 96372 for injections given without direct physician supervision. To reort, use 99211. Hospitals may report 96372 when the physician is not present<
