You'd code the injection based on the type/location, for example either IM 96372, or joint injection 20600-20610, or other injection, and then the J code based on the dosage given. Since the J code is for 10 mg you report the units necessary to report the dosage. For example, if you give 80 mg., you'd bill J3301 x 8 units.

Do you know if medicare pays for the Kenalog injections? I'm not sure what i'm doing incorrectly but all my claims with a kenalog code medicare is not processing. Help!!
Shayna - be sure your claims are being submitted with the NDC number. Also, J3301 is an "NOS" code so you should have a spot on the claim to add a desciptor for the specific drug, like "Kenalog 10mg." Hope that helps!

What Dx are you using?
We've noticed that most ins (including Medicare) won't pay a 719.4_ (pain), but will pay 715.1_(OA).

Kenalog injection
I think in Opthalmology also they use this injection with CPT 67028.
