Our practice uses the J3301 and J1030 with an EM. Would you consider these Therapeutic drugs and add the 96372? In the past we were only using this for biologics. Please HELP!! We have many different opinions on this matter and can not find a definitive answer.

It depends where these are being injected. These drugs are usually associated with Tendon sheath (CPT 20550-20551) Trigger point (CPT 20552-20553) injections

96372 is the correct code for an IM injection.

These are therapeutic drugs, and you do code the 96372 along with the J codes.
