Medicare and depo shot

(1/1)

djk:
We had a patient pick up the depo and brought it to the clinic for us to administer is there a way to bill Medicare for this service? :)

kristin:
If covered by Medicare, you can bill the code for administering the injection. If it is not a covered service, the patient would have to pay out of pocket. Whether or not they need to sign an ABN depends on how the service is classified with Medicare.

bt_elite00:
What code will you bill Medicare for injections?

Michele:
The code for administering an injection is 96372.  You bill for just the administration but not the material.
