What is the ICD-9 procedure code for injection of neulasta and also aranesp?
The ICD-9 procedure codes for Neulasta and Aranesp injections is 99.29. The previous answer of "they would not have ICD-9 codes" is incorrect, especially for Facility coding/billing. Even though, technically, the ICD-9 procedure codes are only used for IP coding only, a lot of Facilities, ASC's, and physician offices use them in the OP setting for tracking and statistical purposes. Neulasta and Aranesp wouldn't have "ICD-9" codes, they would have HCPCS codes. There will be two codes, one referring to the drug, and a second referring to the injection of the drug.
