We have a patient who came in for a testosterone injection. The patient was seen by the MA who administered the injection. The Doctor documented the plan of care during the patient's previous visit. Can we properly bill using the codes 99211, J1070 and 96372? Or should the 99211 not be billed? I appreciate the help.

It seems like you should only bill using codes J1070 and 96372. The testosterone injection was only administered at this visit. This sounds like a planned service/included in plan of care, the MA is only carrying out the order by the physician (from the patient's previous visit). At our office this is normally a nurse only visit.
 
The amount of E/M service provided in a 99211 is included in the 96372. You can either bill for the 99211 or the 96372 but never both.
