mo 250 would be yes because the #1 under the question states Intravenous OR infusion you would mark yes because the sub q is an infusion - is is not vascular - in order for it to be vascular it would have to be in the vasculature (ie vein). You would mark 810 accordingly
Ann Marie >>> "Vera J. Jeter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/03/05 4:07 PM >>> We are having a debate in our home care because we are getting conflicting information from the infusion companies that we use. Is a subq disc (when used for pain control or med infusion for example)considered a vascular device or not? For those of you in Home Care when answering MO250 and MO810 how do you answer them and when coding do you use IDC-9 code V58.81 or V58.82?
