Wiki chemo/infusion coding

[JM.Geyer]

I'm new to coding the chemotherapy and infusions can one of my fellow coders direct me to any site that will help me understand the rules of what can be billed when and with what and what the heirarchy rules are.

thanks so much in advance

There is a great white paper published by HCPro that was written by Joe Rivet that I found very useful when I started coding injection and infusions earlier this year. It is very handy and easy to read, I share it with providers so they better understand how we charge for these services. If you go to the following link and fill out some demographic information at the bottom of the page you can get access to this white paper. It is titled "Injection and Infusion Billing and Coding". Chemotherapy infusion information specifically is on page 4 of the white paper.
