Do you select your chemo infusion codes according to the times given ex:
Taxotere given at 9:55 to 10:55 = 1hr
then
Herceptin given 11:00 to 12:30pm = 1hr 30mins
This can be coded 2 ways.
Can I code Herceptin as initial chemo code (96413) then (96415) for the addl 30mins or does Taxotere get the 96413?
Is the correct coding
1) 96413 Herceptin
96417 Herceptin
96417 Taxotere OR is it suppose to be
96413 Taxotere
96415 Herceptin
96417 Herceptin
