b12 injection codes and modifiers Billing Coding: Another New Year of Vitamin B12 Supplements and Injections
Description
If low or low-normal, use higher dose supplementation or injectable b12
Bcl-2 is posited as an anti-apoptotic protein that apparently inhibits cell death, while Bax is suggested to be a pro-apoptotic protein that promotes cell death

This is because many people cant absorb enough B12 from food
