Wiki Help with Coding Chemotherapy Administration For Inpatient

[leoraha@yahoo.com]

Since 96413 is only for 'incident to' services but the doctor provided chemotherapy administration, and the doctor is private and does not get paid by the hospital, how can he get paid for the service he provided to the patient? Is there another code to use?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

The chemo administration for inpatient includes any professional services, including any hospital staff, that are necessary to the performance of that procedure. The only option that I can think of is for the provider to make arrangements with the facility to receive some sort of reimbursement, if possible.
