Infusions and Injections in the Office Setting

 
  July 12, 2013  
     
 
ComplianceOnline, Online Event
2013-07-23


Why Should You Attend:

CPT and CMS both have routinely made changes to the coding and rules for infusions and injections.

In this session, we will review the latest guidelines CPT offers related to codes based on time, which will apply to the infusion codes. We will also review the most commonly reported injections and when to properly report them.

CMS has a wealth of information on their website that can assist you in receiving the proper reimbursement for, sometimes very expensive, drugs. There will be a thorough review of the files available from CMS that include NDC codes, the average sales pricing, and pricing for drugs not assigned HCPCS codes yet, but reimbursed under unlisted code. The FDA website will also be referenced for approval information, which is critical, because insurance carriers will not normally reimburse for drugs that are not FDA approved.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

  • Most current CPT coding for infusions from the medicine section.
  • A review of the 2013 CPT update for reporting time based codes.
  • Hierarchy of infusion coding in the office.
  • When to report the initial, subsequent, and concurrent infusion codes.
  • Cheat Sheet for Infusion coding.
  • CPT coding for the most common injections performed in the office.
  • Review of the injection CPT code descriptions to maximize reimbursement.
  • Reporting guidance for needle placement.
  • References for HCPCS updates.
  • A comprehensive review of the CMS Average Sales Price file.
  • Other tips on reporting for administered drugs.
