About 96402: Hormonal antineoplastic injection administration

Report this service when a hormonal antineoplastic drug is administered by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, such as in oncology treatment.

This service covers administration of a hormonal antineoplastic agent by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. It is commonly performed in an oncology or urology practice for cancer treatment, including administration of agents such as leuprolide, goserelin, or fulvestrant when used as hormonal antineoplastic therapy. The code represents the administration service, not the drug itself.

Select this code based on the agent’s hormonal antineoplastic role and the injection route; a nonhormonal antineoplastic injection uses a different administration code. Record the medication, indication, route, and administration in the clinical documentation. The drug may be reported separately when the practice supplies it and applicable drug-coding requirements are met. Under the CMS rule for this service, it is billed as an incident-to service only when performed under physician supervision.

96402 billing questions

How does this differ from 96401?

Use 96402 for a hormonal antineoplastic agent given subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Code 96401 is for a nonhormonal antineoplastic agent by those routes.

Can the drug be billed separately?

The administration code covers the injection service, not the medication. When the practice supplies the drug, report the appropriate drug code separately if applicable.

Can this be billed for any subcutaneous or intramuscular injection?

No. The agent must be a hormonal antineoplastic drug. A routine therapeutic injection, such as a non-antineoplastic medication, is not reported with this code.

What documentation supports reporting 96402?

Document the hormonal antineoplastic agent, its cancer-treatment indication, the subcutaneous or intramuscular route, and that the injection was administered.

What supervision is required for Medicare billing?

CMS specifies that this incident-to service is billed only when performed under physician supervision.
