2025 HCPCS code A4209

Sterile syringe with needle, 5 cc or greater.

Use this code only for syringes 5 cc or greater. For smaller sizes, use the appropriate HCPCS code.

Medical necessity must be established based on the specific procedure performed and the clinical indication for the injection or fluid withdrawal.

The healthcare provider is responsible for selecting the appropriate syringe size, ensuring sterility, preparing the injection site, administering the injection or drawing fluid, and properly disposing of the used syringe and needle.

IMPORTANT For smaller syringes, use A4206 (1 cc or less), A4207 (2 cc), or A4208 (3 cc).

In simple words: This code covers a large, sterile syringe with a needle, used to give injections or draw fluids.

This code represents a single sterile syringe with a needle, having a volume capacity of 5 cubic centimeters (cc) or greater. It is used for various medical procedures requiring the injection or withdrawal of fluids.

Example 1: Administering intramuscular injections of medications, such as antibiotics or vaccines, in the thigh muscle where a larger volume is needed., Drawing blood samples for laboratory testing when a larger volume of blood is required., Infusing fluids or medications intravenously or subcutaneously where a larger syringe is necessary for accurate dosing or delivery.

Documentation should include the type and amount of fluid injected or withdrawn, the injection site, and any adverse reactions.

** Ensure proper disposal in a sharps container after use. This code is specific to the syringe and needle; other supplies, such as medications or fluids, are billed separately.
