HCPCS Code J1602: Injection, Golimumab, 1 mg, IV Use

The J code for Simponi Aria, which is the intravenous infusion form of golimumab, is J1602 (Injection, golimumab, 1 mg, for intravenous use). Note that Simponi itself (the subcutaneous injection form) does not have a specific J code but is sometimes billed using unclassified biological codes like J3490.

The HCPCS code for ropivacaine hydrochloride injection is J2795, which represents 1 mg of ropivacaine used for local anesthesia and pain management in various procedures.

Simponi and SIMPONI ARIA contain the same active ingredient, golimumab, but they are not the same product form. Simponi is administered as a subcutaneous injection using prefilled syringes or autoinjectors for self-administration, while SIMPONI ARIA is given as an intravenous infusion by a healthcare professional. Both treat similar autoimmune conditions but differ in administration route, dosing, and some approved indications
