How do i bill for demerol in the iv form. What code should i use and how many units?
dosage of demerol
Dorsal gluteal. Though most hospitals are shying away from Demerol due to it lowering seizure threshold
yes it is normally taken together to help treat pain and is only given in hospitals as an injection
Demerol is an opiate. I could be wrong but I believe that demerol is a schedule II narcotic.
"The injection will be absolutely painless, Bill".
no no Demerol is pain killer
Injection, aflibercept, 1 mg
CPT 90784 -- "Therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic injection (specify material injected); intravenous".Remember that 90784, as well as therapeutic injection code 90782 (... subcutaneous or intramuscular), covers each injection but not the drug administered. For example, if your physician administers both Demerol (J2175) and Phenergan (Q0170), during the treatment of Breast cancer (174.x), you should list only one injection code, such as 90784.
Can you take lortab and demerol together?
if you take Demerol you certainly will NOT need tylenol
Not even close. Demerol is much, much, stronger.
Yes, Demerol can be used with a loop diuretic
