Our pediatric docs want to code J8540 - Decadron, oral, when given during an office visit.
I assumed all oral medications were included in the E/M code, and not separately billable.
But the "oral" description is throwing me, as this J code falls under the HCPC catagory "Drugs administered other than oral method". Now I'm confused - can they bill this separately?
