J0020: Injection, methylprednisolone acetate

When a physician injects methylprednisolone acetate (Depo-Medrol) into a patient's joint or soft tissue, an injection code (J-code) should be reported in addition to the code for the injection procedure itself. Report J0020 for an injection of methylprednisolone acetate.

J0120: Injection, triamcinolone acetonide

When a physician injects triamcinolone acetonide (Aristospan, Kenalog-10) into a patient's joint or soft tissue, an injection code (J-code) should be reported in addition to the code for the injection procedure itself. Report J0120 for an injection of triamcinolone acetonide.

J0130: Injection, triamcinolone diacetate

When a physician injects triamcinolone diacetate (Aristospan Intra-articular, Triam-A) into a patient's joint or soft tissue, an injection code (J-code) should be reported in addition to the code for the injection procedure itself. Report J0130 for an injection of triamcinolone diacetate.

J0140: Injection, betamethasone

When a physician injects betamethasone (Celestone Soluspan) into a patient's joint or soft tissue, an injection code (J-code) should be reported in addition to the code for the injection procedure itself. Report J0140 for an injection of betamethasone.

J0150: Injection, dexamethasone

When a physician injects dexamethasone (Decadron-LA) into a patient's joint or soft tissue, an injection code (J-code) should be reported in addition to the code for the injection procedure itself. Report J0150 for an injection of dexamethasone.

J0170: Injection, hyaluronic acid

When a physician injects hyaluronic acid (Euflexxa, Orthovisc, Synvisc) into a patient's joint, an injection code (J-code) should be reported in addition to the code for the injection procedure itself. Report J0170 for an injection of hyaluronic acid.

J1000: Injection, allergen extract

When a physician administers an injection of allergen extract (allergy shot) to a patient, an injection code (J-code) should be reported in addition to the code for the allergen extract itself. Report J1000 for an injection of allergen extract.

J1010: Injection, tetanus toxoid

When a physician administers an injection of tetanus toxoid (Td, Tdap) to a patient, an injection code (J-code) should be reported in addition to the code for the tetanus toxoid itself. Report J1010 for an injection of tetanus toxoid.

J1020: Injection, diphtheria toxoid

When a physician administers an injection of diphtheria toxoid (DTaP, Tdap) to a patient, an injection code (J-code) should be reported in addition to the code for the diphtheria toxoid itself. Report J1020 for an injection of diphtheria toxoid.

These are just a few examples of J codes used in medical coding. There are many other J codes that can be used to describe different types of injections, medications, and procedures.
