Gen BB Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Our blood supplier will be providing us with CMV neg,Irradiated products in CPDA-1 when needed, on a daily basis for a critically ill oupatient (acute leukemia). Our supplier is 80 miles away and will prepare Platelet phereis/RBC.s as we need them and STAT courier them to us (approx $150 fee for courier) Are there any HCPCS/CPT or revenue billing codes that might help us get some reimbursement to help cover a STAT Courier fee? (patient is Medicaid) Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estiner Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Add the courier fee to the product cost - you will end up with two products - or if you always incur a stat courier, then just one product will do. For example: PLTP is our code for a regular plateletpheresis, PLTPS is our code for one with a stat courier, PPLRIR is our code for irradiated but it includes the irradiation charge and the courier charge because we always have to get it from our supplier who is an hour away. The P codes will be the same for both but the charges will be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
