That said it all

BCG - Bacillus Calmette-Guerin. It is a bladder cancer treatment and is instilled through the bladder in a kind of irrigation technique is best I can explain it.

 

[Kelly_Mayumi]

I believe code 51720 is the code for instillation of this treatment.

don't forget to bill the drug...J9031 along with 51720

Would there also be an admin for this code like 96401 or 96402 or is that covered in the 51720?

 

[bill2doc]

Our doc said to code 51703 along with the injection...thoughts

 

[Sueedwards]

I have been coding the BCG injections as 51720 and 90586 but was told I need to put the code 96402?

any thoughts?

 

[bill2doc]

That was my same question as well, should we use an admin code on this. It is an injection so I think maybe we can. Are you using any modifiers? I'm not as of yet. I am billing 51720, j9031 and 96402 - Blue Cross - We shall see what comes back....

51703 is inclusive to the 51720. I just bill the J9031 along with the 51720.
