Wiki botox injection - what injection code

what injection code (cpt) are people using to inj botox during egd for achalsia?

We do EGD with Botox injections and code with 43236. We have found that the Botox Drug HCPCS Code will need to have a pre-cert for payment if you are billing for the drug with the CPT code. Most insurance will only cover with a diagnosis of achalasia. We send these patients to hospital and only bill the CPT Code 43236.
