Lets say a patient had Ancef infusing at multiple times during one day and they each lasted for 20 minutes. How would you code that out using the drug admin codes (96365, 96366, etc.)? (Would you treat each of the 6 infusions as separate or would you combine them to be able to count for additional hours?)
Ancef (20 min infusion)
0800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800
Obviously the 0800 dose would count as the 96365. However, would you combine the other infusions to be able to count for 96366 to make them over the 31 minute mark. Without combing them they are only 20 minutes so they don't make the cut off for 96366.
