I have found mixed information about the Makena (hydroxyprogesterone caproate) injections about the code changing on 7-1-17 from J1725 to Q9986 for Medicare and Medicaid. Can someone confirm that the actual code that needs to be used is the Q code. Thanks for the help!

The CMS transmittal refers to Medicare regulations, not Medicaid. Texas Medicaid guidelines requires J1725.
