Wiki Self Admin Drug & Admin

[melissamclawhorn]

What is best practice for the following situation:

Patient brings in a drug to be administered in an outpatient clinic because he/she cannot administer the drug themselves, but the drug is on the SAD list.

How would you charge? Just the admin? Do you charge the admin + a "dummy" drug charge?

Thanks!

I am sorry I don't know about the SAD list but when a patient brings their own drugs in we only bill the administration. I hope this helps
