for J3301 if injection given 1cc is equal to 40mg agreed ..but what about J3302 injection how many units are billable if 1cc given?

I'm looking at the directions for J0702 and want to know where I can verify this...everything else I'm coming across appears to say 1 unit is per ml, which would only be 5 per vial rather than 10, I believe.
