Has anyone ever billed for a tablet given to the patient with during an office visit/procedure done in the office?
situation:
Mohs surgeon. Pt's are prescribed and pick up two valium tabs from their pharmacy before the procedure. These tabs last about 4 hours. Some Mohs take 6-8 hours, so the office has been giving the patient another valium tab. Now they are telling me they are doing this and want to bill for it. As this is not an injectable, there is not HCPCS for it. Can we bill a supply code or charge the patient an unassigned fee for this? I am conflicted!
