Nursing reimbursement in our home infusion enviroment is that the first
visit, up to 2 hours, is one fee. After that, each additional hour is an
additional fee. We apply for preauthorization for the anticipated length of
visit if we know that the visit is going to be longer than 2 hours, such as
IVIG or Remicade. In some cases, we need to send the insurer a copy of the
nurses notes.

Subject: [vascular] Billing for Home Infusion visits
I'm curious how those of you in home health are billing insurance
companies for extended duration infusion visits. We are generally paid by
the visit, but if in the home for up to 6 hours for an infusion this is
not cost effective. I would be interested in learning if others are
billing hourly, by the visit, or maybe a combination of the two.
Thanks if advance for any feedback.
