Infusion Hierarchy (Initial Code Picker, 96360-96379)
Assign the CPT infusion/injection hierarchy (one initial, then sequential/concurrent/push) across a set of administrations by the primary-service rules.
Open the tool → Runs in your browser. Data leaves only if you deliberately send a problem report from the interactive tool.
Example
- One administration per line
- chemo-infusion, 90 therapeutic-infusion, 60 hydration, 30
Result: Chemo infusion is the initial code 96413 by hierarchy; therapeutic infusion sequential 96367; hydration 96361.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What you enter
- One administration per line: "type, minutes" (e.g. "chemo-infusion, 90"; add ", concurrent" for a concurrent line)
How this is calculated
AMA CPT 96360-96379 and CMS Pub. 100-04 Ch. 12: exactly one initial code per encounter, chosen by the hierarchy chemo > therapeutic > hydration (within a category, infusion > push), not by chronology; an infusion under 16 minutes is reported as an IV push. Read the source ↗
