We are confused on how to bill for Celestone. My physician states he used 1 cc (6 mgs) of Celestone. The label on the vial reads "Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate and Betamethasone Acetate injectable solution, 30mg*/5mL (6mg*/mL) and the multiple dose vial contains 5mL's in total.
The NDC code for this manufacturer reads 3mg and 3mg with package size 5 and units 5.
HCPC code J0702 reads “Injection, betamethasone acetate, 3 mg and betamethasone sodium phosphate, 3 mg.
So for 6 mgs of this solution, do we bill 2 units of 3mg and 3mg indicating the two combined would still equal 3mgs or 1 unit of 6mg indicating the two combined equal 6mgs.
Thank you for your input.
