Wiki Trimix Coding

[DFUGET]

Hello,

What is the HCPCS code that should be used for the Trimix injection? We are currently using CPT 54235, 93980. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Isn't it still a compounded drug? If you don't know how to bill for compounded drugs, here is one article: http://mcgs.bcbsfl.com/MCG?mcgId=09-J0000-58&pv=false

In my office we bill only the 54235 to the insurance and the patient pays in cash for the medication or we give them a prescription and they take to the pharmacy. If we supply the drug we use the code J3490.
