Single milligram dose of omadacycline, an injectable tetracycline-class antibiotic

This code represents the administration of omadacycline, an intravenous or oral tetracycline-class antibiotic, at a dosage of 1 milligram. Omadacycline is primarily used to treat community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing bacterial growth.

This code is used when reporting the drug product omadacycline administered to a patient. It is typically applied in inpatient or outpatient settings for the treatment of CABP or ABSSSI caused by susceptible organisms. Documentation should clearly indicate the drug name, dosage administered, and the route of administration (though this code is for the drug itself, not the administration service).

• Report units based on the total milligrams administered; for example, if 100 mg is given, report 100 units.
• Do not confuse this drug code with codes for the administration service itself (e.g., CPT codes for IV infusion).
• Ensure the medical record supports the medical necessity for omadacycline, including the diagnosed infection and the patient's clinical status.
