Can someone please direct me in the right direction to locate the guidelines that state: if you charge a OV, Injection, and adminstration code that the adminstration DX needs to be different from the OV and injection?

If a significant separately identifiable evaluation and management service is performed, the appropriate E & M code should be reported utilizing modifier 25 in addition to the chemotherapy administration or nonchemotherapy injection and infusion service. For an evaluation and management service provided on the same day, a different diagnosis is not required.
without the complete note it is impossible to give a definitive answer, however on the face of what is stated I will say it appears that yes you can charge the ov and the administaration code.
