CPT CODE CHANGE FROM 90772 TO 96372 The following information should be noted immediately to your chief executive officer, chief operating officer, program director, billing director, and staff.
The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 90772 has been deleted from available CPT codes and replaced with CPT code 96372. The description stays the same: “therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic injection (specify material injected); subcutaneous or intramuscular.” Although this change was made by the American Medical Association (AMA) effective January 1, 2009, providers are allowed to use either the 90772 code or the 96372 code until April 30, 2009. Claims with CPT code 90772 with dates of service of May 1, 2009 and after, will be denied. If you have any questions, or would like to test your files/claims before you take off these legacy numbers, please contact our Community Relations Department at 1-800-495-0086 (press 1 for the English menu or 2 for the Spanish menu, then #3 then #1 to skip prompts), Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
