Question:
Under what circumstances can code 96376 be reported in conjunction with 96374 or 96375 for IV push administrations?
Answer:
Code 96376 may be reported with either 96374 or 96375. Remember that to use this code, however, two criteria must be met: at least 31 minutes must have passed since the last IV push of the same drug, and the additional administration must be a separate preparation of the drug.
