QuestionI was told this am that the code J7614, for Xopenex, is no longer valid as of 12-31-07. Do you know what replaces it?
Thanks,
Betty
AnswerHi Betty,
I did some research on the J7614 code and I was unable to find any information on the code changing as of 1/1/08. I would go back to the place that told you that if was no longer valid and see if they will advise you on what code is replacing it.
Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
Thanks
ResponseI did get a partial answer. The J7614 code is invalid as of 12-31-07. It was used for the inhalation drug, Xopenex. The new code should be J7607 for this item, but I’m having a hard time getting a definite answer, it could also be J7603..
Thanks,
Betty
AnswerHi Betty,
I found a little info out on the J7603. At the following link, go down about a third of the way to the nebulizer section. There is a description of the J7603 code.
