Billing Chemotherapy Drugs
I have 2 questions I would like some clarity on based on correct billing guidelines for Chemotherapy drugs:
1. Is there a payable HCPCS chemotherapy drug list anywhere? I have searched high and low. I am trying to find out the payable drugs codes for administration code 96416
2. When billing an add-on code admin code (96411 and 96417), is it required to bill a separate distinct drug code from the primary admin code in order for it to pay.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Supervising Provider billing for chemotherapy
When billing for chemotherapy drugs, is it okay to bill the ordering provider as the supervising and rendering even if the provider is not in the office at the time of service?
Chemotherapy Coding and billing Administrative and HCPC Codes
When billing a chemotherapy claim do I stager the Administration code with the corresponding HCPC Code or can I list all J codes first then Administration codes after? Also do the HCPC Codes need to be entered by highest dollar drug first or does this not matter?

Is the Z Code primary when billing Chemotherapy in POS 11
I am studying to be a biller. My lesson states to use the Z code primary, when the admission is radiotherapy, Chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. When the patient is seen solely for the administration of Chemotherapy, immunotherapy or Radiation therapy, the appropriate Z code should be coded first. Would this also apply in POS 11?
