How many billing units is 3cc of 1% lidocaine HCPCS code is J2003? Thank you.

You just have to walk through the math step by step:

• 3 cc is mathematically the same as 3 mL.
• 1% lidocaine contains 10 mg/mL of lidocaine.
• J2003 is defined as Injection, lidocaine HCl, 1 mg, so you report one unit per mg administered.

Now do the calculation:

• 10 mg/mL × 3 mL = 30 mg of lidocaine
• 30 mg = 30 units of J2003
