A deficiency or lack of Vitamin B12 is quite common in the over 65s, those diagnosed with pernicious anaemia, and in anyone who follows a vegan, strict vegetarian, or extreme/fad/restricted diet for a long time without taking a B12 supplement or eating fortified foods
Please make sure to use the proper ICD code based on your patient's multiple sclerosis, as well as the CPT code 96365, since this is for an intravenous injection
