CPT® Code 96367

Add-On Code

Intravenous infusion, for therapy, prophylaxis, or diagnosis (specify substance or drug); additional sequential infusion of a new drug/substance, up to 1 hour (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)

An intravenous infusion is a medical procedure in which a specified substance or drug is delivered directly into a patient's bloodstream through a vein, typically in the arm. This method is utilized for various purposes, including therapy, prophylaxis, or diagnosis. During the procedure, a healthcare professional places an intravenous (IV) line into the patient's vein, allowing for the controlled administration of the substance or drug. The physician overseeing the infusion provides direct supervision, ensuring they are immediately available to address any complications that may arise during the process. Additionally, the physician conducts periodic assessments of the patient's condition and documents their response to the treatment being administered. This code, CPT® 96367, specifically refers to an additional sequential infusion of a new drug or substance for a duration of up to one hour, and it is used in conjunction with other infusion codes to accurately represent the services provided. It is important to note that this code is an add-on code, meaning it is billed in addition to the primary procedure code for the initial infusion.
