I'm looking for billing guidance for apheresis platelet collection from moms for intrauterine transfusion for NAIT. They must be discarded if not used- can we capture the cost of the apheresis collection?

Thanks!

I don't think so - only if it's transfused. There is no CPT or P code that applies, and a misc entry is a certainty for the whole claim to be denied. I hope it doesn't happen often!
