Medication Teaching and/or Administration

I see in the coding corner it is recommended that CPT code 99211 be used for education and teaching for injectable medications. If a patient were to come in strictly for the injection, without any type of direct training, what CPT would be appropriate? We are currently investigating 96372 but figured I should submit to the experts. Also, could the CPT code for the injection itself be billed with 99211 or is 99211 all encompassing? Thank you!!
