What J3302 covers

Triamcinolone diacetate is an injectable corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation in conditions that respond to corticosteroid treatment. Physicians and other qualified practitioners may report the drug when furnishing it in an office or outpatient setting. This code identifies the diacetate formulation, rather than other injectable triamcinolone salts or an extended-release product.

CMS assigns status E, excluding the code from the physician fee schedule. When Medicare covers the item or service, payment is under another method; as a Part B drug, it is generally priced using quarterly ASP drug pricing. Special Medicare coverage instructions apply. Each unit represents 5 mg of triamcinolone diacetate, so a documented 20 mg dose corresponds to 4 units.

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.
