I have a quick question for you I am pretty new to coding and I can’t figure this one out at all. I have a patient that gets her Rituxan infusions here and she was premedicated with Solumedrol which comes in 125mg. We only gave the patient 62.5mg and we wasted the other 62.5mg. The reason for the waste is the patient stated that it makes her very hyper and she has a hard time sleeping at night. The patient already takes Benadryl for her premedication and she stated that the 125mg of solumedrol is to much for her. She has BCBS Pera Medicare I know that the waste will more than likely get denied but I still have to bill this out. But I have no idea on what diagnosis code to tie the waste to since she didn’t have a adverse reaction. I am so lost on this one and your help would be greatly appreciated. Can someone guide me please and thank you for your help.
Thank you so much
