Wiki Charging for an infusion when the patient leaves

[tkermode]

This patient had IV hydration running for exactly 30mins (according to nurse's note) prior to being transferred to higher level of care at another facility. Can I charge for 96360 since NS was still infusing when pt left, even though it wasn't 31+ minutes?

no, it has to be documented 31 minutes or more based on the start and stop time given.
