Are All Injections Billable?

Interventional Pain
Written By William Via

Question:

Patient wants doctor to do injection of BPC 157 [Peptide] which the patient buys and provides. Can I bill 96372 for this service? The BPC 157 is not FDA approved and is considered experimental. Can I bill this service since no J code is available?

Answer:

While CPT 96372 technically describes the mechanical act of giving an injection, billing a payor for non-FDA-approved substances, as you've described, is not recommended.
