Justcoding S Injections And Infusions Coding Handbook Pack Of 5

JustCoding's Injections and Infusions Coding Handbook(Pack of 5) Jugna Shah, MPH Drug administration coding doesn't need to be difficult. Drug administration is one of the most common services provided in the outpatient setting, and while the rules and codes have not changed significantly since 2009, coders still have questions about how to apply the CPT® guidelines and follow CMS' guidance. This handbook begins with a review of drug administration concepts, including definitions of common terms. It then walks through the hierarchy that outpatient facility coders use to select the initial drug administration service. The handbook also explains how to properly determine when to report concurrent, subsequent, and additional hours of substances and when to report hydration. Included are 15 case examples of varying complexity for coders to test their understanding of drug administration principles. The correct coding for each example is provided, along with explanations highlighting key code assignment concepts. The handbook concludes with some frequently asked questions about drug administration. Resolve your toughest drug administration coding challenges! Table of Contents Introduction Definition of drug administration terms Importance of correct drug administration reporting CPT coding Codes and coding guidelines Drug administration hierarchy Documentation requirements CPT vs. Medicare rules Coding scenarios Chemotherapy Multiple infusions Subsequent drug administration Concurrent infusions Multiple drug pushes Hydration Coding scenario answers and explanations

From the era-defining author of Generation X comes a novel of overworked coders who escape the serfdom of Bill Gates to forge their own path. They are Microserfs—six code-crunching computer whizzes who spend upward of sixteen hours a day “coding” and eating “flat” foods (food which, like Kraft singles, can be passed underneath closed doors) as they fearfully scan company e-mail to learn whether the great Bill is going to “flame” one of them. But now there’s a chance to become innovators instead of cogs in the gargantuan Microsoft machine. The intrepid Microserfs are striking out on their own—living together in a shared digital flophouse as they desperately try to cultivate well-rounded lives and find love amid the dislocated, subhuman whir and buzz of their computer-driven world.
