    Wiki Hydration Guidelines

    Awesome, thank you for that. I was able to find the CMS article L34960 which states what ncbcoding quoted, but it's retired and there is no new article in place.

This cheat sheet says that for hydration to be billed the volume of the bag has to be greater than 500mL per individual IV...I am having an issue with this because I can't find anything that states that is a requirement...

    Wiki Med Onc/Infusion

    I am new to oncology and infusion billing and learning as I go at my new job. I am slowly but surely starting to understand the CPT codes and how they work with each other, the medicines are another story though. I have a few questions though as I have received conflicting information. 1. 96368...
