It’s Never Too Late to Take on a New Challenge

Don’t be afraid to start a new career later in life. When I was younger, I had a desire to learn billing and coding; however, without knowing how to transition into the healthcare industry, plus the life challenges of being a single mom of two, I put my desire to learn on hold and continued […]

Occasionally we hear about officers who are hesitant to give out CEU index numbers at chapter meetings. Sometimes things happen; someone can’t access AAPC’s app on their phone, perhaps there is an issue with a scanner or someone’s QR code, or maybe the person isn’t even a member of the chapter. In the cases where […]

use of HCPCS code Q0163 when it’s not chemo related?

I’m coding for urgent care and the providers often give oral Diphenhydramine HCL to handle other symptoms that are nothing to do with chemo. Web MD lists all kinds of uses for the drug, non of which are chemo related specifically, yet the only oral HCPCS code for the drug specifically states for use at the time of chemo treatment. (Q0163)

Does anyone know if I can use this code even when not related to chemo or do I have to use the J8499 – prescription drug, oral, non-chemo, NOS? (or some other HCPCS code I may be missing)
Thank you.
