Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

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.
