CPT Coding


Overview

A Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code is a standardized five-digit medical code used by doctors, hospitals, and insurers to describe the specific services, tests, and procedures performed on a patient. Created and maintained by the American Medical Association (AMA), these codes ensure clear communication, track public health data, and process insurance claims for payment

HCPCS Codes

J2920  methylprednisolone sodium succinate injections (up to 40 mg) was permanently discontinued and deleted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) effective March 31, 2024.

J2919 (5 mg units), replaced older per-dose codes like J2920 and J2930, paired with CPT administration code 96372 for intramuscular injection or 96374 for intravenous injection.

J3301 is a HCPCS Level II supply code (often referred to as a J-code) rather than a CPT procedure code, and its official description is "Injection, triamcinolone acetonide, not otherwise specified, 10 mg." It is used to bill for the steroid medication Kenalog (or generic triamcinolone acetonide) given by injection.
