Wiki medication administration

[coderfromtexas]

Patient is coming in daily (outpatient services) for Zosyn via IV using an elastomeric ball. Does anyone know if there is an administration code that I would use to bill the administration of this medication?

from what I looked up in goggle it is an infusion if there are start and stop times. 96365-96367

Elastomeric pumps use pressure to infuse medication. This pressure is created by an elastomeric layer which is molded into the inside of the pump. When the elastomeric pump gets filled, the elastomeric layer becomes stretched. The elastic constriction then drives the liquid that is present through the tubing.

if it is infused via a pump I would consider the infusion pump codes.

here is a link if for chemo infusion however this was for Zosyn so 96365

subsequent would be for the refilling and maintenance of pump either 96521 or 96522

Does readjusting the infusion rate count as maintenance?
