Explore Frequently Asked Questions
Bill the drug with its HCPCS J-code and the administration with CPT codes. IV infusions use 96365 (first hour) and 96366 (each additional hour), or 96413/96415 for certain biologics, depending on the payer. Subcutaneous injections use 96372. Many payers also require the 11-digit NDC.
- Infliximab: J1745 (Remicade); biosimilars Q5103, Q5104, Q5121.
- Rituximab: J9312; biosimilars Q5115, Q5119, Q5123.
- Tocilizumab: J3262.
- Abatacept: J0129.
- Golimumab IV: J1602.
- Belimumab (lupus): J0490.
- Pegloticase (gout): J2507.
Match billed units to each code's descriptor (e.g., J1745 is per 10 mg).
Report discarded single-dose vial amounts with modifier JW, or modifier JZ when there is no waste. The claim must match purchase invoices, NDCs, and administered units. Wrong unit conversions are a leading cause of underpayments in buy-and-bill practices.
- Small joints: 20600 (no ultrasound) or 20604 (with ultrasound).
- Intermediate joints: 20605 or 20606.
- Major joints: 20610 or 20611.
Ultrasound-guided codes require a permanent image and report, and 76942 is not billed with them. Bill the injected drug separately (e.g., J3301 triamcinolone, J1030 methylprednisolone).
Modifier 25 goes on the E/M code (99213–99215) when the visit is significant and separate from a joint injection (20610) or infusion. Examples include adjusting DMARDs or evaluating a flare. Modifier 59 or XS is used for injections at distinct joints, as payers require.
Payers typically need a confirmed diagnosis (e.g., ICD-10 M05/M06 rheumatoid arthritis, L40.5 psoriatic arthritis, M45 ankylosing spondylitis, M32 lupus), proof of failed conventional DMARDs such as methotrexate, and often a trial of a preferred biosimilar first (step therapy).
Common causes are CO-97 (service bundled, often 76942 with guided injections), CO-4 (modifier missing or inconsistent), wrong J-code units, missing NDC, and no prior authorization. We scrub claims against NCCI edits before submission to prevent these.
Onboarding usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. We work with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, ModMed, NextGen, and AdvancedMD, along with your clearinghouse, and keep disruption to patient care and cash flow to a minimum.
