💊 About Propofol DRUG GUIDE
Propofol injection is used to put patients to sleep (induction of general anesthesia) in patients 3 years and older, and to keep them asleep during surgery (maintenance of general anesthesia) in patients 2 months and older.
It is also used in adults for monitored anesthesia care (MAC) sedation — a lighter level of sedation during procedures — and for sedation alongside regional anesthesia (numbing a specific area rather than the whole body).In the ICU, propofol injection is used to continuously sedate adults who are intubated and on mechanical ventilation (a breathing machine).
It is not approved for ICU sedation in children, and it is not approved for MAC sedation in pediatric patients.
Diprivan is specifically not recommended for use during obstetric deliveries, including cesarean sections, or in nursing mothers.

🧮 Dosing & billing-units calculator HCPCS UNITS
One billing unit of J2704 = 10 mg. Enter a regimen to convert dose → billing units and project a full course.
Billing units = dose ÷ HCPCS unit size. Most payers require whole units — round per the payer's policy. “Est. Medicare pay” uses the current payment limit. For single-dose vials, drug discarded after administration may be separately billable with modifier JW (JZ when none is discarded) where allowed. Always verify payer-specific rounding before billing.
🔁 NDCs that bill under J2704 LEAST EXPENSIVE FIRST
62 NDCs map to J2704. Bill units = how many HCPCS units one package represents. Est. pay / pkg = payment limit ($0.089/unit) × that package's bill units.

Provider-administered (Part B) spend, calculated for the whole HCPCS code (CMS does not publish Medicare spend per individual NDC). Self-administered use is covered under Part D instead. A blank patient count means fewer than 11 people — CMS hides counts that small to protect privacy. Source: CMS Medicare Quarterly Part B Spending by Drug (data.cms.gov), updated quarterly.

Calendar-year 2024 Medicare Part B fee-for-service activity for this HCPCS code, summed across all carriers, localities and specialties (CMS Physician/Supplier Procedure Summary). A “service” is one billed line/unit — not one claim — so counts run higher than claim counts.

Source: CMS Physician/Supplier Procedure Summary (PSPS), CY2024 — Medicare Part B carrier + DME fee-for-service claims (excludes Medicare Advantage). Figures are for the whole HCPCS code, which may cover uses beyond this drug. ⚠ CMS hides any figure covering fewer than 11 patients (a privacy rule), so totals — especially denials and low-volume codes — run a little low.

Medicare Part B services for this code by the rendering provider's state — 736,133 services across 37 states & territories in 2024 (CMS reports include DC and U.S. territories). Switch to per 100k to compare states fairly regardless of population. Hover or tap a state for its top ZIP codes.
Hover or tap a state to see its numbers + top ZIP codes.
Per-capita = services ÷ 2023 state population × 100,000 (so high-population states aren't automatically "hotter"). Counts reflect the provider's location, not the patient's. Providers with fewer than 11 patients are hidden by CMS for privacy, so totals run low and per-100k can be noisy in small states — read this as relative geography, not exact counts.

⚠️ Practical billing caveats
- A crosswalk is not coverage. An NDC mapping or a published payment limit does not guarantee a payer will cover or pay this code. Check the specific plan's policy.
- Units ≠ milligrams. Bill the number of HCPCS units (dose ÷ the code's unit size), not the milligram dose. Use the calculator above.
- Discarded drug. For single-dose vials, drug discarded after administration may be separately billable with modifier JW (and JZ when nothing is discarded) where the payer allows.
- Rounding & partial units. Many payers require whole units; round per the payer's policy, not automatically up.
- The code can cover more than this drug. Some HCPCS codes span multiple products or strengths — confirm the exact code for the product administered.
- Figures lag. ASP limits change quarterly and utilization data are released with a delay. Verify against the current CMS files before billing.

J2704 is a HCPCS Level II J-code used to bill Injection, propofol, 10 mg under Medicare Part B and most medical (not pharmacy) benefits.

One unit of J2704 represents 10 MG. Report the number of units equal to the dose administered divided by 10 MG.
How many units of J2704 should I bill?
Divide the dose administered by the code's unit size (10 MG) to get the number of billing units, then round per your payer's policy. The calculator on this page converts a dose into billing units and projects a full course.
How much does Medicare pay for J2704?

Which NDCs bill under J2704?
62 NDCs currently map to J2704 in the CMS ASP NDC-HCPCS crosswalk. See the NDC crosswalk table above for each product, package, billing units and estimated reimbursement.
Does a crosswalk mean J2704 is covered?
No. An NDC-to-HCPCS crosswalk and a published payment limit do not guarantee coverage or payment. Coverage depends on the payer, the diagnosis and the site of care — always verify the current policy before billing.
