I do billing for oncology and I have always billed infusions as follows example )
(2009 new codes)
96413
drug
96365 mod 59 ( same IV site)
I have attended a CPC boot camp to take my exam and my instructor said this is appropriate coding ( I have been doing this way for years). I have now become very confused because some sources are telling me I can not use 96365 with the 96413 because they are both initial codes. ( pt is getting both pre meds and anti neoplastic drug through same IV site)
Can anyone shed light on what is correct?
Thank you soo much !
