Hematology billing involves complex infusion hierarchy rules: when multiple drugs are infused, the most resource-intensive drug determines the primary infusion code (CPT 96413), with subsequent drugs as add-on codes (96415 for same drug continuation, 96417 for sequential infusion of a different drug). Blood product administration requires exact start and stop times, blood product type (packed RBCs vs FFP vs platelets), and the clinical indication ICD-10 for transfusion. MedSynthea's CODE agent automatically sequences multi-drug infusion encounters and generates transfusion records compliant with Joint Commission documentation standards.
