Hello, all!
I have tried to find the correct answer for this but can't seem to find recent information that I feel was "concrete." I'm hoping someone out there can assist me. We recently changed our drug cabinet so we are now trying to fix any issues.
Medication: Pepcid/Famotidine S0028
Medicare does not cover this medication and we have not obtained any ABNs. Is this code billable when given at the same time as other medications (chemo)? I have seen documentation that indicates J3490 (NOC) should be billed but didn't feel the information was recent enough nor could I confirm anywhere else that this was accurate.
If you do not bill the patient for this medication and it is written off, do you bill an admin charge for this or would it be included with the admin of other meds?
Thank you for all your time with this as this is a new situation for me.
