Wiki Billing TPN on OBV patient

[jules0024]

Hi,
We had a patient that was observation that received TPN. We have tried to bill it with the "dummy" NDC under revenue 250 and it keeps getting rejected. What other options do we have?

Hi, Which insurance are you billing this patient for? Some payers require different codes. For example, here you can see coverage information for BSBC of Minnesota: https://www.bluecrossmn.com/sites/d...eral Nutrition Billing effective 03.14.19.pdf .

Here is some information for Parenteral Nutrition Correct Coding and Billing for Medicare: Parenteral Nutrition – Correct Coding and Billing – Revised . Depending on your unique situation, that will determine which code you can use. This second link will likely be of more use to you.
