Patient diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease received an injection of ceftriaxone intramuscularly during her visit. Should I use 90471 or 96372 or another code for the injection of the medicine? Thanks!

Ceftriaxone is an antibiotic so you use 96372 for the administration. 90471 is for vaccines.
 
Thats what I thought...and that was my first instinct...thank you....this is the first time I've seen this injected in our office (new doc) so I wasn't sure. Still learning....hehe. :) Thank you!
