A quick glance might make you think J2001 (Injection, Lidocaine HCl
for intravenous infusion 10 mg) might be a possibility, but don't go
that route. Code J2001 represents IV infusion of Lidocaine, which is
used for cardiac arrhythmias and not as a local anesthetic. A better
choice might be J3490 (Unclassified drugs) with a note in Box 19 to
indicate the drug and its concentration.
Caution: Many payers do not allow separate reimbursement for local aesthetic ,as they consider it to be part of the injection procedure."
