What 96371 covers
This add-on captures an additional pump setup or establishment of a new subcutaneous infusion site during a therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic infusion. It represents setup or site work, not additional infusion time. Clinical staff commonly perform the hands-on work in an office or infusion setting.
Report 96371 only with a primary subcutaneous infusion service, such as 96369 or 96370, when the additional setup or site is performed. Document the infusion and the additional pump setup or site established. CMS classifies 96371 as an add-on, billed only with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period. As an incident-to service, it may be billed only when performed under physician supervision.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
