   What is the best way to bill for this? It is rapid desensitization for two days, 8 hours each, one 94010 every hour, with a nurse. The doctor checked in on him every 15-20 minutes all day long each day. Any advice is appreciated.

   Rapid Desensitization: Rapid desensitization (also called rush immunotherapy or cluster immunotherapy) applies to clinical situations in which multiple injections of antigens are administered over a few hours at 30- to 120-minute intervals to rapidly neutralize available IgE antibodies.
   95180 : Rapid desensitization procedure, each hour (eg, insulin, penicillin, equine serum)
   For 95180, rapid desensitization must be billed as one hour equals one unit.
   So, it is 95180 x 8 units each DOS.
