We'll be talking about infusion medical billing in this blog, one of the most significant categories of medical billing. It entails injecting medication directly into a patient's bloodstream using a needle or catheter. Pre-infusion preparation includes evaluating the patient's condition, reviewing their medication history and vital signs, and, if required, setting up an IV site. Medication infusion can include chemotherapy, pain management, and antibiotics, among others. Infusion services are performed in a variety of settings including hospitals, clinics, and physician offices. As such, it is a procedure that requires specialized coding and billing procedures to ensure proper coverage and reimbursement. Since infusion involves injecting fluids or pharmaceuticals directly into a patient's bloodstream, it can be viewed as a form of treatment. Understanding the various infusion types and the CPT codes that go with them is crucial for correct billing and fair compensation.
