1. What CPT add-on code reports each additional IV push of the same substance/drug in a facility?

   96376. CPT 96376 allows reporting additional pushes of the same drug in a facility setting under specific conditions.

2. What is the CPT code for therapeutic/prophylactic/diagnostic IV push, single or initial substance/drug?

   96374. CPT 96374 is for the first or only intravenous push of a therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic substance.

3. What CPT add-on code reports each additional sequential IV push of a new substance/drug?

   96375. CPT 96375 adds reporting for each new substance pushed sequentially after the initial one.

4. What CPT code reports therapeutic/prophylactic/diagnostic subcutaneous or intramuscular injection?

   96372. CPT 96372 is specifically for subcutaneous or intramuscular injections of therapeutic substances.

5. What CPT code reports chemotherapy administration by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection?

   96401. CPT 96401 is used for non-intravenous chemotherapy administration via injection.

6. What CPT add-on code reports each additional sequential chemotherapy IV push of a new drug?

8. What CPT code range is used to report hydration, therapeutic, prophylactic, and diagnostic infusions?

   CPT 96360-96379. This range covers hydration and therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic intravenous infusions as per CPT guidelines.

9. Which code reports a second IV push of the same drug given $20$ minutes after the first in a facility?

   Do not report 96376 (requires $30$ minutes); no additional push code. Intervals under 30 minutes prevent reporting additional pushes of the same drug per facility guidelines.

10. What CPT add-on code reports an additional sequential infusion of a new drug/substance, up to $1$ hour?

    96367. CPT 96367 is added for a sequential infusion of a different drug or substance, up to 1 hour.

    96415. CPT 96415 is added for each additional hour of chemotherapy infusion beyond the initial.

12. Identify the correct code when hydration lasts $30$ minutes: 96360 or no hydration code?

    No hydration code (must be $31$ minutes or more). Hydration infusions under 31 minutes do not qualify for separate coding per CPT rules.

13. Which hierarchy is correct for initial service selection: chemotherapy, therapeutic, hydration?

    Chemotherapy/complex > therapeutic/prophylactic/diagnostic > hydration. CPT guidelines establish this order to determine the initial service when multiple types are provided.

14. Which service is coded as the initial service when multiple infusions occur in the same encounter?

    The primary reason for the encounter (highest hierarchy). CPT hierarchy prioritizes the service aligning with the main clinical intent of the visit.
