Hey Coders!
Our allergy office gave an injection to test for an allergy to an antibiotic. They followed the same process as an ingestion challenge, but the medication was administered via an injection, not orally. I am thinking we would bill an E&M for the time we spent with the patient, and then just bill an injection admin & the medication that was injected, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't something specific we should code for this scenario.
Thank you!
