Wiki How many units to bill for IM Kenalog?

[Texascoder64]

I have a question on how many units the J3301 would need for this Intramuscular injection 4 or 8?
here is the wording on the note:
Multidose vial of Kenalog used 40mg/cc vial
amount of Kenalog drawn from multidose vial 2.0cc/ injected 2.0cc

thank you

80. (There are 40 per cc, and 2 cc was injected.)

But the description of J3301 is Triamcinolone, 10mg...so wouldn't it be 8 billing units?

Yes, you're right. I was just doing the math - I forgot that a unit is 10!
