Chemo is an exclusion no matter where, the others must
be done at a hospital to be an exclusion. Only the chemo agents that have
the excluded codes are exclusions.

Subject: bottom line
Rena
or someone else out there who knows,
With
the updates on consolidated billing and now knowing that radiation, etc. comes
out of the bottom line for medicare a reimbursement if done in a free-standing
facility, does this include chemotherapy as well? I know there is a
statement about “lymphatic and venous procedures.” Does this
include chemo or is chemo still an exclusion no matter where done?
Thanks!
