I was hoping you could give me any directions or point to any policies to provide for our physicians.

We have a physicians that would like to start offering Lipogem injections to patients. Since these are not a covered item for insurances we would be offering this as a cash & carry item.

If the patient has a procedure done in an ambulatory setting that is covered by insurance and also receives the cash & carry item on the same day in the same setting, can we charge for the administration of the injection. I was always taught you could not. Does that differ when it falls under the cash & carry item.

If it does not, can you point me to an article/policy that states that to support that.
