Can drugs such as Toradol (J1885) or Atrophine (J0461) be billed with a hysteroscopy (58558, 58561, or 58563) when performed in office?

Pain medication is usually not included and if you supplied the drug, you can bill - payment on the other hand will be up to the payer. The atropine they may not be paid for as it would be used as part of the pre-op prep to prevent secretions in the respiratory tract during surgery. A local such as lidocaine or marcaine would of course be included.
If it is decided to bill, should the administration code 96372 be billed as well?

Yes, if you are billing the drug and you administered it, bill. Again, the payer will decide.
