Does anyone know if it would be applicable to bill for premedications (benadryl, zofran, etc) given prior to the start of chemotherapy? This would be for facility coding. Please send any references you have and cpt's to bill.

Thanks!!
 
Josie,
It is appropriate to bill for the premed administration even in a facility. The codes range from 96365 through 96379. Since the chemotherapy would be your highest level of service and where your "initial" service would be billed from, the premeds are billed with each additional or sequential IVP or infusions.
