I’m walking you through how to correctly code an 80 mg dosage of Depo-Medrol using the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II book! Since many drugs are listed by their generic names, the first step is to know that the generic name for Depo-Medrol is methylprednisolone acetate. We find this generic name in the Table of Drugs and Biologicals and confirm that the correct code is J1010, which is billed per 1 mg. To calculate the final units for the 80 mg dosage, we divide 80 mg
