Wiki Correct billing for J3490 for Pain Pump Refills

[lcole7465]

My doctor has started doing Pain Pump Refills, most of the refills use Hydromorphone, Bupivicaine, along with Sodium Chloride & Sterile Water(which I know are inclusive and not payable). We use J3490, my question is how would I bill this correctly for the morphine & bupivicaine. Until now, I have not billed for these drugs.

Thanks for any help.

You would benefit from looking at your local Medicare carrier articles on report J3490 since each carrier can have specific instructions.
