Why your Therapeutic/Prophylactic/Diagnostic Injection (Subcutaneous or IM) bill looks so high
Hospitals bill a "rack rate" that is often 2-10x higher than what Medicare pays or what insurers actually reimburse. The fair range for CPT 96372 is roughly $50 - $250 — but many facilities bill far beyond it.
Common reasons 96372 claims get denied
- Injection administration billed separately from the drug incorrectly. The administration code (96372) is separate from the drug itself; verify the drug code matches what was actually given.
Confirm both the injection code and the medication code appear — and that you actually received both.
