The coding rules for drug administration are complex, and it’s easy to make errors. This session is designed to help you make sense of the rules and apply them correctly. Using coding examples, participants will gain an understanding of coding and billing drug and biological administration services by understanding how the hierarchy or reason for encounter establishes the initial code.  This includes understanding how to code for sequential, concurrent, IV push, injections, and hydration during the same encounter.  You will also gain an appreciation for the importance of accurate HPCPS coding to include drug units, waste and required modifiers.

The session will cover the following topics, and more:

• Authoritative guidance and coding resources
• Understanding differences between chemotherapy and therapeutic administrations and when to use them
• Billing for new or unclassified drugs and biologicals
• Understanding when drug waste is billable and how to report it
• Real-life examples of infusion encounters including chemotherapy, therapeutic drugs, and hydration

This seminar is ideal for anyone involved in coding or responsible for charge capture in a cancer center, infusion center or hospital-based infusion therapy department. Each participant will receive complimentary digital access to the 2026 Navigator® for Medical Oncology, Hematology, and Infusion Centers (eNav), a comprehensive reference manual.
