HCFA bulletin on using the -25 modifier.

By the way you can save a lot of money if you buy your injectables like ceftriaxone at Florida Infusion! Here's a sample their recent 2008 prices:

--> ceftriaxone 1gm vials x 10 ... $60
--> testosterone cypionate 200mg/ml 10ml vial ... $95
--> pneumovax 5 dose vial ... $143
--> tetanus toxoid, 15 dose vial ... $213
