What 96423 covers

This add-on service covers continued delivery of a chemotherapy agent through an artery after the initial intra-arterial infusion period. It is used in oncology care when treatment is administered through an arterial catheter rather than by intravenous infusion, injection, or a prolonged pump. Oncology clinicians and qualified staff may perform the administration in an outpatient or hospital setting, with the service furnished under physician supervision as an incident-to service.

Report 96423 with the primary intra-arterial infusion service, 96422; it is not a stand-alone administration code. Assign units from documented infusion duration and follow the applicable CPT time instructions. The record should identify the drug, route, infusion start and stop times, and the total time supporting the additional-hour unit or units. CMS classifies this as an add-on code paid within the primary procedure's global period, and permits billing 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.

96423 billing questions

When should 96423 be reported instead of 96415?

Use 96423 for additional qualifying time during an intra-arterial chemotherapy infusion. Code 96415 describes additional time for an intravenous chemotherapy infusion.

Can 96423 be billed by itself?

No. It is an add-on code reported with the primary intra-arterial infusion service, 96422.

What documentation supports the additional-hour units?

Document the chemotherapy agent, intra-arterial route, and infusion start and stop times. The recorded duration must support the units under the applicable CPT time instructions.

Does physician supervision affect reporting?

Yes. CMS identifies this as an incident-to service and allows billing only when it is performed under physician supervision.

Is 96423 used for an intra-arterial push?

No. It describes additional infusion time, not push administration. Code 96420 is the related intra-arterial push service.

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.
