Did he inject into a lesion, or just intradermally?

I would think that would be a 96372, but I am still rather new to all this.

96372 is only for subcutaneous or intramuscular

If he injected just under the skin, then that is subcutaneous.

Intradermal is subcutaneous--at least for coding. Between the layers of skin does not have code, but under the skin does. The two are virtually the same. It is more precise than into a lesion, so that is what I would use. But again, I am fairly new to coding.
