Wiki dexamethasone 10mg/ml

[bkelso96]

I am having a hard time figuring out the hcpcs code and units for this injection.
" 2 ml of injectate ( 2 ml dexamethasone 10mg/ml ) "
I found information for 4mg/ml but nothing about the 10mg/ml. Is it the same code as the 4mg/ml ( J1100) and are the units calculated the same way ( 1 unit per .25cc) ? I am so confused with this injection!!

Thank you!!!

Were you able to figure this out? I'm curious to know. If not, what is the NDC number? AAPC coder has a list of NDC numbers and it shows how many units to bill for each one.

Yes, it is the same code, J1100. Looks like the injection was 20mg which would be 5 units.
