Wiki billing for the administration of Rituximab for cancer diagnosis. Would you code it as chemotherapy infusion? 96413 etc...

Would I use the Chemotherapy administration codes for the administration of Rituximab for Lymphoma? Aetna Medicare insurance.
thanks!

It's immunotherapy. Z51.12 for encounter dx along with neoplasm. For administration, yes chemo admin. Anything with a J9--- is under the chemo side. If a code doesn't isn't a J9 code, it's a toss up.
