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
Demerol (meperidine) is typically billed using its corresponding J code, which is J1030 for a 50 mg injection. When billing, ensure you include the appropriate number of units based on the dosage administered. Additionally, document the administration details and any relevant diagnosis codes to support the medical necessity of the treatment. Always check for specific payer guidelines, as billing practices may vary.
Yes, Zofran (ondansetron) and Demerol (meperidine) can be administered together, but they should not be mixed in the same injection. Both medications can be given via intramuscular (IM) injection, but it's important to administer them separately to avoid potential interactions and ensure proper dosing. Always consult with a healthcare professional for specific recommendations based on individual patient needs.
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.
no no Demerol is pain killer
"The injection will be absolutely painless, Bill".
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?
Injection, aflibercept, 1 mg
Not even close. Demerol is much, much, stronger.
