Intratumoral Injection of NKTR-262

Date: Jan 28, 2019

Question:

How would I code for ultrasound-guided intratumoral injection of a left inguinal mass with NKTR-262? It also says a "fan technique" was used to equally distribute the agent within the mass. Is this chemotherapy and therefore coded 96405 and 76942?
