Hi,
I don't know what happened to the first post I posted but I will post again. CBD oil is derived from the marijuana plant. Doesn't matter if it it has THC in it or not when it comes to Texas. Marijuana plants and all products manufactured from it are technically illegal in this state. CBD manufacturers discreetly package their product and ship to the wholesalers in Texas and other states that still state marijuana is illegal. CBD is a cannabinoid of the marijuana plant. In Texas, this will be confiscated along with any other cannabis products when they enforce the law. The question was concerning if the provider should document the patient's use of CBD oil. Yes, the provider can document patient use of this substance. I would advise the coder to check with the specific payer like Aetna to see what the payer guidelines have to say when reporting. FYI, I currently code remotely for two hospital systems in TX. I also concur with Pathos and Lori's posts.
