The code for intravenous (IV) injection varies by context, such as medical billing or coding systems. In the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding system, for example, IV injections are typically coded under specific codes based on the substance administered and the setting. Common codes include 96365 for IV infusion and 96374 for IV push of a drug. Always refer to the latest coding guidelines for accurate billing and documentation.

How do i bill for demerol in the iv form. What code should i use and how many units?

CPT 90784 -- "Therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic injection (specify material injected); intravenous".Remember that 90784, as well as therapeutic injection code 90782 (... subcutaneous or intramuscular), covers each injection but not the drug administered. For example, if your physician administers both Demerol (J2175) and Phenergan (Q0170), during the treatment of breast cancer (174.x), you should list only one injection code, such as 90784.
The CPT code typically used for a Kenalog injection for epicondylitis at the lateral epicondyle is CPT code 20551, which is for an injection of a tendon sheath, ligament, or ganglion cyst.
