The range of codes that report enteral and parenteral therapy are designated with which letter?

The range of codes that report enteral and parenteral therapy is designated with B codes. These codes fall under the category of durable medical equipment (DME), which is used for supplies and services related to nutrition support, such as feeding tubes and intravenous solutions.

B codes are specifically intended for reporting these types of therapies as they are integral parts of managing patients who are unable to receive nutrition via normal oral intake. This includes patients with conditions that impair swallowing or digestion, ensuring that healthcare providers can effectively report and get reimbursed for the necessary nutritional support services they provide.

The other code sets, like A, C, and D codes, are related to different categories of medical supplies and services, so they do not pertain to enteral and parenteral therapy specifically. This classification allows for precise communication regarding patient care needs associated with nutritional support.
