I have been trying to find the guideline for coding J codes for our office. How do I code an injection for Dexamethasone sodium phosphate; (J1100) and Lidocaine (which needs to be generic)> How to be sure I have the correct generic code for this drug.
Then do I report both codes if they are injected in one shot?
I Injected 1 cc of 2:1 Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate 4mg/ml and 2% pl Lidocaine to the Subtalar joint right This is injection number 1 in the series. This injection is diagnostic. Pending his response to this injection will solidify the subtalar joint pathology.
Thank you!!
