Infusion Therapy Medical Billing Services - No More Underpayments
Worried about unpaid patient balances, extended A/R days? This is a common frustration for infusion therapy centers. Dastify Solutions’ infusion therapy billing and coding services provide upfront Good Faith Estimates, accurate coding, and complete compliance and complex J-code documentation support. Our billing services help you build patient trust and reduce outstanding balance issues.
We Fix the Real Revenue Killers in Your Infusion Clinic
Infusion therapy billing isn’t like other specialties. You’re dealing with J-codes that change quarterly, Medicare Part B requirements that seem designed to trip you up, and documentation demands that eat up hours of your staff’s time.
Infusion RCM requires specialized quarterly J-code updates and mastery of NCCI edits. Dastify provides technical precision for Part B drug administration.
We handle:
Complex, time-based infusion documentations
Unpaid patient balances & extended A/R days
$400 GFE to prevent federal payment disputes and revenue loss
Initial, sequential, and concurrent infusion coding
J-code for high-cost and specialty drugs
Medicare Part B billing rules & coverage compliance
Billing for interrupted infusions correctly
Proper documentation of Infusion stop/start times & additional hours
Accurately apply JW/JZ modifiers for eligible Part B drugs, ensuring compliance with CMS drug wastage rules
We Straighten Out the Kinks in Time-Based Infusion Coding
Time-based infusion coding is one of the most common causes of underbilling, denials, and audits. A few minutes documented incorrectly can shift an infusion from billable to non-billable, or from an initial hour to IV push.
Our infusion billing specialists apply CMS, AMA CPT, and MAC-specific time rules to ensure every medically necessary minute is captured, coded, and reimbursed correctly.
| Infusion Duration | Billing Approach |
|---|---|
| Less than 16 minutes | IV Push |
| 16–90 minutes | Initial Infusion Hour |
| Each additional 31+ minutes | Additional Hour |
| Interrupted time | Not Billable |
| Sequential infusions | Separately Billable |
Missing infusion stop times trigger automatic downcoding from 96365 (infusion) to 96374 (IV push). We audit every note to ensure complete start/stop time documentation; protecting your revenue from default-to-push losses.

We Provide Infusion Coding Expertise
Chemotherapy IV Infusion Billing & Coding
Anti-neoplastic chemotherapy drugs require specialized infusion coding, strict documentation, and accurate sequencing. Our infusion billing specialists code chemotherapy administrations using CPT 96413–96417, ensuring compliance with CMS, AMA CPT, and payer-specific guidelines.
96413Chemotherapy IV infusion, initial hour
96416Prolonged infusion with a portable pump
96415Each additional hour of chemotherapy infusion
96417Sequential chemotherapy infusion
Non-Chemotherapy IV Infusion Billing
Biologics, antibiotics, IVIG, iron infusions, and other therapeutic drugs use codes 96365-96368. This covers the majority of infusion services in most practices.
96365IV infusion for therapy diagnosis, initial hour
96416Prolonged infusion with a portable pump
96415Each additional hour of chemotherapy infusion
96417Sequential chemotherapy infusion
IV Push Administration
When administration takes 15 minutes or less, push codes apply instead of infusion codes. We know which code to use based on the documented time.
Hydration Therapy
Hydration has its own codes (96360-96361) but can only be billed separately when medically necessary, not just routine pre-hydration for other drugs.
Common Diagnoses Associated With Infusion Therapy
We also manage infusion codes for treating chronic, autoimmune, and oncologic conditions such as iron deficiency anemia, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, Crohn’s disease, cancer-related diagnoses, and immune system disorders.
Common Infusion Modifiers

76 – Repeat procedure by the same provider

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common reasons infusion claims get denied?

How do you correctly bill hydration services vs drug infusions?
Different billing rules apply to hydration therapy (CPT 96360–96361) versus therapeutic or drug infusions. Many providers search for the difference and when hydration can be billed separately.
