I was wondering if anyone can help me code the following scenario. I am having a hard time deciding whether or not to bill for all 4 hours that the magnesium was administered or if I should just report the hour that it ran prior to the chemo infusion. Here is how the start and stop times are documented; I am purposely leaving off the doses because I am not questioning those:
Sodium Chloride: 9:00 to 15:00
Famotidine: 10:15
Granisetron: 10:20
Benadryl: 10:22
Decadron: 10:30
Magnesium: 10:35 to 14:35
Paclitaxel: 12:00 to 13:05
Carboplatin: 13:15 to 14:15
I have the following codes:
96413
96417
96367 (1st hour of magnesium)
96366 X 3 (each addt'l hour of magnesium)
96375 X 4
Should I report the 3 addt'l hours of magnesium or are they incidental to the chemo infusion? Any help would be appreciated!
