Allergy Billing

Good morning all,

I am hoping someone can help me out here. We recently starting billing for a family practice clinic and they do have patient's whom they see for allergy injections. I know that for the administration of the injection we bill either 95115 or 95117.

When they mix their vials for the patient we would bill 95165, but my question is who bills for the actuals meds that are used? Should there be "J" HCPCS codes billed by our office for the drugs used to mix the allergen?

I have been trying to find some guidance on this and haven't had much luck. Thank you.
