J3420 is the HCPCS code for: Injection, vitamin b-12 cyanocobalamin, up to 1000 mcg. In 2024, 9,510 providers billed J3420 921,902 times, with an estimated $827K paid by Medicare.
J3420 is a Part B drug code: Medicare pays an ASP-based rate of $0.68 per 1000 mcg (2026 Q3 ASP drug pricing file). Total payment per patient depends on the dose billed.
A billed "service" on this code is one 1000 mcg unit, not one patient visit — that's why the service counts below run high.
What Medicare actually paid per service in 2024, on average: $0.90 (observed payment across all settings and modifiers — not a fee-schedule rate).
