What 96375 covers

This add-on captures a subsequent IV push of a different therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic drug during the encounter. An IV push may be an injection administered and observed by a clinician throughout, or an administration lasting 15 minutes or less. In an oncology office or infusion suite, for example, a nurse might push ondansetron and then dexamethasone as separate supportive medications under physician supervision.

Report one unit for each different drug given by sequential IV push after a qualifying initial administration, such as an initial therapeutic infusion or IV push. A nonchemotherapy push may also follow an initial chemotherapy administration. Select the initial service under the drug-administration hierarchy rather than by the order in which drugs were given. Record each drug, route, administration time, and administering clinician. As an add-on, 96375 is billed with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period. Medicare treats it as an incident-to service billed only when performed under physician supervision. Report separately billable drug supplies with the appropriate drug codes.

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.

96375 billing questions

Which primary codes can 96375 be reported with?

Examples include an initial therapeutic IV infusion (96365), therapeutic IV push (96374), chemotherapy IV push (96409), or chemotherapy infusion (96413). Code 96375 cannot be billed alone.

How many units of 96375 can be billed in one encounter?

Report one unit for each different drug or substance administered by an additional sequential IV push. Repeating a push of the same drug does not create another unit of 96375.

What if the same drug is pushed again later in the visit?

A repeat push of the same drug does not qualify for 96375. In a facility, 96376 describes an additional push of that drug when it occurs more than 30 minutes after the prior push.

If the first administration is an IV push, is it reported with 96374 or 96375?

Select the initial service under the drug-administration hierarchy, not simply by administration order. If the encounter involves only therapeutic IV pushes, report 96374 for the initial drug and 96375 for each additional different drug.

Is an E/M visit separately billable on the same day?

A significant, separately identifiable E/M service beyond the usual pre-administration assessment may be reported with modifier 25 on the E/M code.

Does 96375 apply to chemotherapy drugs pushed after the initial chemotherapy service?

No. An additional sequential IV push of a chemotherapy or highly complex biologic drug is reported with 96411. Code 96375 describes an additional push of a nonchemotherapy therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic drug.

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.
