HCPCS Code J1885: Injection, Ketorolac Tromethamine, per 15 mg

Most payers, including Medicare, cover J1885 when the documentation supports its use for the short-term management of acute pain.

No. Due to the risk of serious side effects, Ketorolac injection is only approved for short-term use, typically not exceeding five days.

Since the code is per 15 mg, you would bill 4 units of J1885 to represent a 60 mg dose (60 mg / 15 mg per unit = 4 units).
