What is IV Medicine Infusion (each additional hour)? Read the full explainer →

IV Medicine Infusion (each additional hour)

This is the add-on code for infusion time beyond the first hour. It is never billed alone — it attaches to an initial infusion service and is repeated for each further hour the drip runs. Because it is priced by the clock, a slow infusion costs more to administer than a fast one carrying exactly the same drug.
