EDUCATION:

It's The Infusion That's Important

True or False:  When another pro-vider is giving a patient infusion therapy at home, the clinician should still count that as intravenous or infusion therapy on M0250 (Therapies the patient receives at home).

Answer: True. You need to answer only one question to determine whether an infusion counts as IV or infusion therapy for M0250, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services says in its OASIS questions and answers. That is, "Is the patient receiving the therapy at home?" Who ad-ministers the therapy is not important.
