Wiki Billing 96372 twice

[annielou]

Is it possible to bill 96372 twice? A patient comes in and has two separate medications of their own that need to be injected. I don't think a modifier would be appropriate because 96372 is not considered a "medical service." Any suggestions?

You could use modifier 59 on the second injection.

Hope this helps.

I would code both, and put -59 on second injection. We also code the "J" code for the medication with a zero charge. Insurance companies don't like to pay on 96372 unless they see "what" was injected. Hope this helps.

What about modifier 76 Repeat procedure or service by the same physician or other qualified health care professional?
