Sue, It depends which chemotherapeutic agent is used. There is a list of HCPCS codes in the CMS transmittal on Consolidated Billing of exclusions. The transmittal can be downloaded from the AANAC site. I have found that many of the newer chemotherapeutic agents used by Oncologists are not exclusions. If the agent used is not found on the list of exclusions, the SNF is responsible for the cost of the Chemotherapeutic treatments. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Junot" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 11:47 AM Subject: chemo
