Question:
Can you tell me more about whole blood coverage?
Answer:
According to the Medicare Benefit Policy Manuel:
“Whole blood is a biological, which cannot be self-administered and is covered when furnished incident to a physician’s services. Payment may also be made for blood fractions if all coverage requirements are satisfied and the blood deductible has been met.”
