Patient presents with Abdominal pain provider orders IV Hydration
96360
J7040
96360
J7040
He does not dc the line until the patient leaves about 2 hours later. He orders labs, and CT. The line is KVO according to the note
I explained that according to billing and coding guidelines you can’t bill 96360 with a time of over 2 hours and KVO is not correct.
I explained you can bill 96360 up to 1 hour and than bill 96361 or additional hour.
I also explained that if 96360 is boulos and pt is severely dehydrated you can add another bag of J7040 and bill that out for a full hour.
Can you please assist me. We bill with a place of service 20 Urgent Care
I would appreciate any feed back.
Thank you
Jackie
