This is generally what we do also. >>> "KayBeth Weibel, CRNI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/21/2005 9:08 AM >>> 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.
