Resolved Bill Medicare for Prolia

[KateN_88735]

A patient will come in just for an injection with Prolia. The patient will bring his own medication. I dont know what injection code(s) to bill Medicare. Do i list the NDC#? Do i bill the E/M 99211 plus the injection code? or only injection code. pls. help. Thank you

1. Report the appropriate drug administration code for the injection.
2. Report the drug code (HCPCS code) for Prolia (denosumab), which is J0897.
3. Enter a nominal charge of $0.01 (one cent) for the drug itself

96372 or 96401 and J0897 with a no charge modifier (to show it was given but the patient brought it in)
