Hello,
I would like to clarify the following scenario:
a patient is undergoing a Pain Pump Trial (CPT62319)
When the patient came back for one of her follow up visits she was given a bolus:
"She finally had a very good day after infusing through a period of 24 hours for a total of 2.4 mg on a given day. At this dose she was able to tell that the medicine is helping. Today we increased the rate to twice as much. Additionally I gave her a bolus of 0.3 mg over 5 min. This could be the last day of the trial as it showing so good progress.
Let me document for the record that I administered a bolus of 0.3 mg of preservative-free morphine via an indwelling epidural catheter today. The procedure was done using strict sterile technique and the patient was observed for 15 min. after the procedure for any adverse effects of which she had none."
Does this support billing CPT 62311 plus the ov charge?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
