What 96377 covers
This service covers applying an on-body injector, including inserting its cannula, so a prescribed medication can be delivered by timed subcutaneous injection. A common example is applying a pegfilgrastim on-body injector after chemotherapy, with delivery scheduled for later. Office clinical staff typically perform the application and provide instructions about wearing and monitoring the device.
Report the application service, not a separate injection when the device later delivers the dose. Report the medication product separately when applicable. Documentation should identify the medication and dose, the application site, and that the injector was applied and activated. Under the CMS incident-to rule, the service is billed only when performed under physician supervision.
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.

96377 billing questions
When should 96377 be reported instead of 96372?
Use 96377 for applying an on-body injector that delivers a timed subcutaneous dose. Use 96372 for a subcutaneous or intramuscular injection administered directly during the encounter.
Is the medication included in 96377?
No. 96377 reports the injector application; report the medication product separately when applicable.
Can 96377 be billed when the patient receives the dose later?
Yes. The service is the application of the injector, even though the device is scheduled to deliver the medication later.
What supervision is required for billing 96377?
CMS classifies this as an incident-to service, so it is billed only when performed under physician supervision.
What should the record document?
Document the medication and dose associated with the device, the application site, and that the injector was applied and activated.
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.
