With the continued pressure of reduced reimbursement for both services and medications, it's more important than ever for healthcare providers to capture all billable services accurately. Infusion and injection procedures, while common, require a deep understanding of coding protocols to ensure correct payment is received. This session will explore the detailed process of coding these services correctly, ensuring no part of the treatment goes unreported.

Delivered by healthcare coding expert Lynn M. Anderanin, the session will walk through the full cycle of documenting and coding infusions, from determining time-based reporting codes to identifying the correct drug codes based on dosage. Attendees will also learn how to document and report drugs that are discarded — an essential step when medications are purchased in advance but not fully administered, to help recoup costs.

Special attention will be given to patients undergoing IV therapy or chemotherapy, who often receive treatment over multiple sessions. Proper documentation of each treatment’s duration, order, and medication types is critical in selecting the right CPT® and HCPCS codes. This session will provide practical guidance on how to map out these combinations to align with payer requirements, support medical necessity, and optimize reporting.

By the end of the training, participants will be better equipped to report services accurately, reduce the risk of undercoding, and protect their practice’s bottom line.
