96413 is a likely code. Payers are free to determine which non-chemotherapy agents they pair with chemotherapy administration codes, which reflect a higher level of skill and therefore a higher fee than non-chemo admin codes. You're likely to find that payers instruct you to report Remicade infusions using chemotherapy infusion codes, such as 96413 (Chemotherapy administration, intravenous infusion technique; up to 1 hour, single or initial substance/drug) and +96415 (Chemotherapy administration, intravenous infusion technique; each additional hour [List separately in addition to code for primary procedure]). Recall that CPT includes access to indwelling IV, subcutaneous catheter or port, and flush at conclusion of infusion in the admin code.
