Does Medicare have any guidelines for hospital standing orders for medication administration?
Does Medicare require hospitals to report codes for packaged drugs?
I was reviewing the archive and came across a Q&A related to modifier JW. That answer states that the modifier relates only to single-use vials—a vial of liquid medication intended for parenteral administration (injection or infusion) that is meant for use in a single patient for a single case, procedure or injection. This would seem to mean that the modifier would not apply to packages for non-liquid drugs. Is that correct?
Whatever happened to the Medicare Part B payment demonstration project that CMS proposed some time ago?
Does Medicare cover prednisone under part B?
What is the outpatient PPS packaging threshold for this year?
Do you know whether CMS has announced any new pass-through codes for the next quarter?
Will Medicare pay for an injection if that’s the only reason for an office visit?
Are hemophilia clotting factors included in the IPPS rates for hospital inpatients?
What modifiers are required for claims submitted for ESAs administered to non-ESRD patients (J0881 and J0885)?
Do Medicare payments associated with drug services include payment of the drug and injection of the drug?
