Wiki Help with J0696 (Ceftriaxone)

[soprano]

Help, please... The nurse marked Ceftrixone on the superbill. I found the CPT code
(J0696), my question is... is there a specific injection code or administration code for this?

 

[cmcgarry]

This is administered either IV or IM, so you should query the nurse and/or provider as to how it was administered. You will also need the dosage; J0696 is 250 mg, so if, let's say, 500 mg was given, you would use 2 units.

It was 250mg administered IM.

 

[cmcgarry]

Then your administration is 96372 and the unit on J0696 is one (1). If was also an E/M, the admin and E/M would be bundled together unless the E/M is a significant, separately identifiable service, in which case you could use modifier 25 on the E/M.

Hope this helps!
