The HCPS code G8629 was recently deleted from the list.
G8629 : Documentation of order for prophylactic parenteral antibiotic to be given within one hour (if fluoroquinolone or vancomycin, two hours) prior to surgical incision (or start of procedure when no incision is required)
Does anyone know what code we should be using instead ?
Several of the surgeons in our office use this code quite often.
Thanks in advance!
