Below is our featured Coding Question of the Month that could be beneficial to your practice.
Question: Would you provide some insight into how to follow the "white bag" infusion model? Currently, we bill the drug code, but we zero out the charge and then add the FB modifier. Is that correct?
Answer: That is correct. When you bill any medication infusion/injection and the drug is provided at no cost to you, most payers still want to see the drug administered with units and the FB modifier, so a zero dollar or $0.01 amount goes out.
