Can you confirm that CMS has deleted code C9469?
Answer:
Effective July 1, 2018, HCPCS code Q9993 (Injection, triamcinolone acetonide, preservative-free, extended-release, microsphere formulation, 1 mg) will replace HCPCS code C9469. The status indicator will remain G (pass-through drugs and biologicals).
