Our family practice office has a child (born prematurely) who receives monthly Synagis injections. Can someone advise me what codes to use?
 
Can't speak from experience, but my encoder shows the below when I look up 'synagis.' Hopefully, someone can give you advice.

90378
Respiratory syncytial virus, monoclonal antibody, recombinant, for intramuscular use, 50 mg, each

Lay Description

Code 90378 identifies the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) recombinant monoclonal antibody for intramuscular use, 50 mg, each. This humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG) gives protection against the respiratory syncytial virus and is injected once a month during the RSV season. Passive immunity is achieved for a short period as the antibodies received are circulated through the body. The recipient's immune system is not stimulated to build its own antibodies. Report this code with the appropriate administration code.
