Medication Administration


We administer Zoladex and Depo-Lupron in office. This is a nursing visit with injection service. Is CPT code 96402 applicable to a Depo-Lupron or Zoladex injection by nurse at REI practice, even if there is no diagnosis of cancer? If not, would CPT code 96372 be more accurate? Do we code differently if we are providing/supplying the Depo-Lupron or Zoladex and doing the injection, versus if the patient brings in the medication and we inject it for them?
