I can not seem to find a drug code for this drug. I find it as saying if you use it for these procedures, is it a drug that is billed as included in the procedure. I do billing for urgent cares and the physician is a pediatrician also, she uses this as a sedation drug for a complex laceration on a child. Would I bill this under a procedural sedation, or is there a drug code, or would it be included in the procedure. I am confused and can't seem to find much info on this can anyone offer any advice.

It is one of those items that is part of the supply provided by the physician or facility. There is not a drug code in HCPCS for it and it is a short acting, non-narcotic anesthetic agent. The cost to supply it is included in the fee for the procedure.
