Wiki Lupron Injection 7.5mg

[mconnolly]

My doctor is giving a pt Lupron for his prostate cancer. He states 22.5 mg on the billing sheet, but the description for J9317 says 7.5 mg, do I bill for 3 units? The way I understand it, the milligrams determine how long the medicine will work for, ex: 7.5mg is for 1 month and 22.5 is for 3 months, but there is no code for Lupron 22.5 mg. Confused on how to bill this code.

Yes. If one unit is 7.5mg and doctor gave 22.5mg you would bill for three units of the J code.
