How We Protect Oncology Revenue From First Infusion to Final Authorization
Our oncology billing workflow manages the full complexity of cancer care revenue — chemotherapy coding, J-code accuracy, prior authorization, 340B compliance, and oral oncolytic billing.
Chemotherapy Infusion Administration Coding
Precise coding for all chemotherapy infusion modalities (96413, 96415, 96417 for sequential), IV push (96401-96402), and subcutaneous/IM injections (96405-96406) following the correct chemo vs. biotherapy vs. non-chemo hierarchy.

Accurate HCPCS J-code selection and unit calculation for all oncology drugs — including weight-dosed regimens like carboplatin (J9045), paclitaxel (J9265), and pembrolizumab (J9271) — ensuring no under- or over-billing of drug costs.
Supportive Care & Hydration Billing
Expert coding for pre-medication antiemetics, growth factors (G-CSF J0594), bisphosphonates (J2430), and hydration infusions (96360-96361) billed as incidental to or separate from the primary chemotherapy service based on duration rules.
340B Program Compliance & Billing
Complete 340B covered entity billing support including correct modifier -JG and -TB application, comprehensive drug purchase tracking, and HRSA compliance documentation to protect both program eligibility and reimbursement accuracy.
Oral Oncolytic & Specialty Pharmacy Billing

Oncology Coding Complexities That Impact Chemotherapy Billing & Reimbursement
From infusion sequence hierarchy rules to J-code unit calculation for weight-dosed chemotherapy, these are the precision coding areas that determine oncology revenue accuracy.
- Infusion coding based on the drug (chemotherapy vs. non-chemotherapy) and duration.
- Correct coding for the drug product using J-codes and the exact number of units administered.
- Billing for "incidenta" hydration and pre-medications alongside chemotherapy.
- Coding for injection administration (e.g., 96372) vs. infusion.
Missing prior authorization for chemotherapy drugs.
Incorrect coding of infusion time or units of drug.
Billing for drugs or supplies included in the administration code.
Lack of medical necessity documentation for specific regimens.
