80402 is for 21 hydroxylase deficiency

We are administering the Cosyntropin via IV then drawing blood at intervals. Pt is with the IV in our provider office for 1 hour. The blood is sent to a lab for testing.
The Cosyntropin is supplied thru Specialty Pharmacy. For my provider's part of the billing....96374 just doesn't seem correct to me but when I look at 96360, the CPT book says for Hydration.
Can anyone clear this up for me, please? Thanks.

Is it infused for more than 15 min? We see this quite a bit, and I have known this to be given as an IV PUSH. If so, then 96374 is the correct code for the administration of the cosyntropin.
The hydration is given only to support the cosyn iv admin, it isn't billable.
