![]() Intravenous (IV) infusions are billed based upon the CPT ®/HCPCS description of the service rendered. The medication administration record and/or the nursing documentation should coincide with the billing based on time of initiation, time of completion, and discharge from the outpatient facility. If an additional drug is administered and infused for 20 minutes no additional units would be billed, as the one hour increment has not been exceeded. Hydration therapy is always secondary to infusion/injection therapy.įor example, if the initial administration infuses for 20 to 30 minutes the provider would bill one unit because the CPT ® (Current Procedural Terminology) /HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) code states 'initial up to or first hour'. Documentation, medical necessity, and code assignment are very important.įor purposes of facility coding, an infusion is required to be more than 15 minutes for safe and effective administration.
