Chemo drugs are not given in a home infusion pump (99601 - 99602 = POS 12) and have to be supervised by an oncologist due to the drug toxicity by the administering nurse and the patient. So I can only question what drug you are administering as via the home.
Yes, the patient takes the pump home once the oncologist/clinic loads the chemo drug cartridge into the pump 96416/Chemo drug infusion lasting longer than 8 hours. I am very curious to understand what drugs you are actually billing for and more specific details to what services are performed by your provider.
Addendum:
I have been looking into the DMERC question all morning and found this source of information. There is no indication that infusion drugs (especially chemotherapy) are to be billed to the DMERC, this is a facility billing issue and does not apply to all infusion centers as some are free-standing clinics. But our facility infusion center bills all our drugs to the FI. We do not dispense oral anti-cancer drugs and most do not, that is not to say that someone doesn't.
I am really very curious to learn something new, so all comments are welcome.
