What 96372 covers

This service involves giving a drug by needle into subcutaneous tissue or muscle for treatment, prevention, or diagnosis. Examples include intramuscular ceftriaxone, ketorolac for acute pain, vitamin B12, and medroxyprogesterone for contraception. Nurses or medical assistants commonly give these injections in physician offices, urgent care centers, and clinics. The service includes preparing the drug, selecting the site, administering the injection, and brief observation.

Report one unit for each separate injection, not for each unit of drug supplied. When the practice supplies a separately billable drug, report its appropriate HCPCS code, such as J3420 for vitamin B12 or J0696 for ceftriaxone. Document the drug, dose, route, site, administrator, and any distinct injections supporting multiple units. CMS identifies this as an incident-to service billed only when performed under physician supervision. Vaccine, allergen immunotherapy, and antineoplastic drug injections have separate administration codes; a local anesthetic injection integral to another procedure is included in that procedure.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

96372 billing questions

Can an E/M visit be billed on the same day as this injection?

Yes, if the provider performs a significant, separately identifiable E/M service, append modifier 25 to the E/M code. Do not report 99211 with the drug administration service.

How are two injections given at the same visit reported?

Report one unit for each separate injection and document each drug, dose, route, and site. Do not count drug supply units as injection units or append modifier 59 or XU solely because two injections occurred.

Is this code used for flu shots or other vaccines?

No. Vaccine administration uses immunization codes, such as 90471 or 90472 when applicable. Medicare uses G0008 for influenza, G0009 for pneumococcal, and G0010 for hepatitis B vaccine administration.

What supervision is required for Medicare to pay it in the office?

CMS identifies this as an incident-to service billed only when performed under physician supervision. Document who administered the injection and the supervision arrangement when office staff perform it.

Should a testosterone or denosumab injection be billed here or with a chemotherapy administration code?

Use this code for subcutaneous or intramuscular administration of non-antineoplastic drugs such as testosterone cypionate or denosumab. Use 96402 for subcutaneous or intramuscular administration of a hormonal antineoplastic agent such as leuprolide for prostate cancer.

Is a local anesthetic injection before a procedure reported with this code?

No. Local anesthesia given as part of a laceration repair or lesion excision is included in that procedure rather than reported as a separate drug administration service.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
