See below: they can be billed together if there is a separate service and if you use the 25 modifier.
per AACP:
“My understanding has been that if a patient comes in and is seen for the same problem that they receive an injection for then we can’t bill the admin fee along with it. Example:
99213 for cough and acute bronchitis
J0696 Rocephin 1gr
Because injection is given to treat reason patient came in the office, the admin is considered to be part of the office visit.
Example where we can charge it:
99213-25 for hypertention and DM
96372 B12 for Anemia
Patient wasn’t being seen for the anemia so we can bill the admin separately.”
