Oncology & Hematology Coding Alert

CORRECTION

Published on Fri Dec 21, 2012

“You Be the Coder: Report Post-Chemo Nausea Med Separately” in the February 2007 issue of Oncology Coding Alert included an incorrect code. The answer should read:

If you give a Medicare patient chemotherapy first (58-minute session), then administer the ondansetron, you should report:

• 96413 -- Chemotherapy administration, intravenous infusion technique; up to one hour, single or initial substance/drug 

• +90775 -- Therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic injection (specify substance or drug); each additional sequential intravenous push of a new substance/drug (list eparately in addition to code for primary procedure).
