I'm looking for direction on coding for a physician office when the same drug is administered (after 30 minutes) via the same IV line. For example, Zofran is administered via a push and done again 35 minutes later. Code 96376 can be used for facilities only. Does the physician office have to use 96379 (unlisted service)? I'm sure I'm just overlooking something....Thanks for any help! Myra
 
IV push is 1 min and less
hierarchy in the office is
Infusion Therapy
Injection IV push
Hydration

so if the patient was given Zofran 30min how was it given? I am thinking IV
cpt96365 and 35 min later he received Via push same medicine IV push code is 96374

2 codes 96365 and 96374 plus J codes for Zofran
