We are getting premixed vials of allergen immunotherapy and the vendor bills us for the premixed vials.
We pay the vendor and then we administer the immunotherapy. As the vials are sent premixed, the provider is not doing any aliquot/preparation of the immunotherapy, only in the very rare case of a patient reaction does he do an aliquot.
Assuming no preparation is done, only providing and administering, what codes are used to bill insurance to get us paid for:
1) Providing the immunotherapy (that we paid the vendor to premix and provide/we paid the vendor), and
2) Administration (95115 or 95117) - I'm good with the admin fee, I just believe 95165 is not correct since the immunotherapy was sent premixed from the vendor.
Thanks for any assistance!
