Wiki billing for Hydration code 96361, when not the primary infusion

[priceless]

An IV Push and 2 hrs of Hydration was given at this visit.
Since we need to bill only 1 initial, I chose 96374 for the Iv push and 96361*2 for the 2 hrs of hydration.
Is that correct.?

If hydration was the primary code, then it would be 96360 and 96361.

Thanks

Yep, you're correct. For an IV push and 2 hrs of hydration, it would be billed as:

96374 x 1
96361 x 2
