Hello,
I am looking for information reporting ER injection and infusion reporting on claim. There is a discprency between HIM and the billing department. I am reporting injection codes 96374, 96360 etc on claim but the billing department is stating these codes when put in the grouper are overriding the E/M code and we should not put them on the claim. These infusion and injection codes are not built in the charge master and that is why we are soft-coding them on the record and into the grouper to be reimbursed for services.
I was looking for any help regarding this matter. From what I can tell both need to be present. Because the inj/infu are timed services they need to be present as well as the E/M code. Is this correct.
Thank you
