Therapeutic infusion
About 96370: Additional hour of subcutaneous infusion
Report an additional hour when a therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic medication continues by subcutaneous infusion beyond the initial service.
This add-on represents additional time for a medication delivered by continuous subcutaneous infusion, typically through an infusion pump and subcutaneous site. It is used in office or outpatient care when the infusion continues beyond the initial hour represented by 96369. Clinical staff commonly perform the infusion under physician supervision as an incident-to service.
Report it with 96369, the primary subcutaneous infusion service, only when documented infusion time extends more than 30 minutes beyond the initial hour. Record the medication, subcutaneous route, start and stop times, total infusion duration, and relevant pump or site details. CMS treats 96370 as an add-on paid within the primary procedure's global period. It is billed only when performed under physician supervision; it is not a separate professional or technical component.

96370 billing questions
Can 96370 be billed without 96369?
No. It is an add-on for additional subcutaneous infusion time and must be reported with the primary infusion service, 96369.
When does the additional hour qualify?
The documented infusion must extend more than 30 minutes beyond the initial hour. Record actual start and stop times to support the additional time.
How is 96370 different from 96371?
96370 represents additional infusion time. 96371 is for additional pump setup or subcutaneous infusion site work, rather than another hour of infusion.
Is 96370 appropriate for a subcutaneous injection?
No. It represents continuing subcutaneous infusion time. A therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic subcutaneous injection is represented by 96372 when that service is performed.
What supervision is required?
CMS identifies this as an incident-to service, so it is billed only when performed under physician supervision.
