Can some one please direct me to the rule that states Remicade given for RA can be infused and charged using Chemotherapy CPT codes 96413 & 96415. Any infusions charged require a start and stop time, regardless of what they are, what they are for, or what type of facility is delivering them, correct? Also the J code for the Remicade indicates this is an injection. Is this HCPCS code interchangeable?
 
The description prior to that section of codes includes the statement: "The term 'chemotherapy' in 96401-96549 includes other highly complex drugs or highly complex biologic agents." I coded for an infusion clinic for 1 1/2 years and we used the administration codes you mentioned above for Remicade. Are you using J1745 for the drug?
