Wiki ORAL dexamethasone sodium phosphate

[clovell]

One of our docs gives a liquid dexamethasone sodium phosphate orally to pts. The HCPCS for injection, dexamethasone sodiums phosphate is J1100. Is it appropriate to use this HCPCS code when given orally, since I cannot seem to find an oral administration. If not, what code do you recommend?

Thank you so much for your help!!

J8540 for oral administration

J8540 will likely deny because it is an injection which is reported with administration code of 96372. J1100 has a different NDC - You cannot bill for a drug that was not given

I agree with BROCSurgical. You cant bill for J8540 if you didn't administer this medication. The NDC's are different
