Patient is receiving IP chemo into peritoneal cavity (96455) and also receiving Hydration for 2 hours with 4 drugs being pushed. (96361 and 96375). What is the appropriate way of billing this? This is how we are billing and we are getting denials.
96445
96361 X2
96375 X4
The issue is that there is 2 sites IV/IP... which normally would require a 59 modifier on the 96445, however that is our initial due to that is why the patient is here being treated. We have always been told that the chemo admin is always the initial and all other should be billed as subsequent or additional.
Please help????
