When billing for Depo Medrol injections do you bill for the total mg’s administered or for the vial the medication is pulled from?
example: Patient comes in for a trigger point injection-the total number of trigger points is 4, with 20mg injected into each trigger point. Would you bill for the total amount of steroid given to the patient, J1040 80mg’s; or would you bill J1020 20mg with 4 units.
