When coding an infusion, do you go by the time in the order (90 minutes) or do you code by the actual start/stop times documented. I've always coded by the start/stop time, but this is now being questioned.

Start and stop times that are actually performed. Dr could order 2 hours but an adverse reaction occurs and there's additional time, or they stop the infusion, etc. You code what was actually done.
