Infusion medical billing is one topic that frequently leads to misunderstandings. During an infusion, a medical professional will usually insert a small intravenous (IV) catheter into a vein in the patient's arm or hand. Hydration infusion is the process of replenishing fluids in the body. Home infusion billing codes must adhere to rules established by Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance providers and must satisfy certain requirements. Medical practitioners frequently struggle to comprehend the infusion procedure and properly bill for it. SC infusion, on the other hand, involves inserting a needle just under the skin and delivering medication or fluids into the fatty tissue. Infusion codes fall under the Injection and Infusion section of CPT (Current Procedural Terminology).
