Hi -
We provide ketamine infusions in an outpatient clinic where the hospital is billing the ketamine infusion codes. Our pain docs are providing monitoring during the 4-hour infusions (either MD or NP/PA) to check on vitals, complications, events etc. We have been informed that since the hospital is billing unless we are providing an unrelated charge we can't bill an E/M service for our physician services. Has anyone had experience with this scenario?
much thanks,
Crystal
