Wiki J-codes

Arginine is listed under the B codes

According to my research, arginine is included in the list of drugs under the code B4155. These drugs are administered through a feeding tube, not an IV.

The HCPCS code for clonidine (clonidine hydrochloride) is J0735 and the unit is 1 mg.

Hope this helps!:)
 
J8999

The HCPCS code for clonidine (clonidine hydrochloride) is J0735 and the unit is 1 mg.can we code it for orally too

Assign J8999 - for "oral" clonidine.
When billing with an NOC code, include on the claim, the narrative description reflective of the agent and the dose administered.
NOC codes should only be reported for those drugs that do not have a valid HCPCS code which describes the drug being administered.

Its not J8999, that is for a Chemotheraputic drug given orally.
J8499 is for the NON-Chemotheraputic drug given orally.
Just an FYI :)
 
Oral Clonidine

As I was looking for an answer, I came upon this thread.
After more research, I am going with the J8499.
This seems to cover what I need.
I hope this helps someone else looking for a similar answer. :)
