Unlisted Chemotherapy Service

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 96549

Used when the way a chemotherapy treatment was given does not match any standard named service. The provider files a written description of what was given and how, and it is compared with similar named services. Because it stands in for work with no standard name, what was actually done differs from patient to patient.
