HCPCS Code J0702: Injection of Betamethasone Acetate (3 mg) and Betamethasone Sodium Phosphate (3 mg)

Betamethasone acetate is a corticosteroid medication used to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms in various conditions such as allergic reactions, arthritis, skin diseases, and certain endocrine disorders. It is commonly administered via injection to treat joint pain, tendinitis, bursitis, and other inflammatory conditions by suppressing immune response and decreasing swelling.

The HCPCS J code for betamethasone sodium phosphate injection is J0701, which covers betamethasone sodium phosphate administered via injection, typically used to treat inflammatory and allergic conditions.

Cortisone injections are often coded under HCPCS code J1100, which represents the injection of dexamethasone sodium phosphate, a corticosteroid closely related to cortisone. For cortisone itself, codes such as J1100 or J1120 (for dexamethasone acetate) are used depending on the specific corticosteroid formulation and dosage administered. It’s important to verify the exact corticosteroid product when selecting the HCPCS code.
