I'm looking to get certified as a medical coder.
W/in the CPT intro - under the time section - it gives an example: "If IV hydration (96360, 96361) is given from 11pm to 2am, 96360 would be reported once and 96361 twice."
If altogether the IV hydration is 3 hours - how is 96361 reported twice if the rest of the time after 96360 does not exceed 1h31m?
Please clarify this for me.
Thanks,
Chaim
