Medication from home brought into hospital setting

Can we get reimbursed for the following:


When a patient brings in their own medication to the hospital during an inpatient stay. (Ex oncology where the patient got the medication directly from the manufacturer) It is sent to the pharmacy for labeling and packaging and an administrative process. Is there a way to charge for this service.

Comments

  • We would not charge for this service at our facility.  We would potentially charge for the administration of the item [for OP, OBS] but not for the med review/processing itself.
