1. Quantitative Benchmarks & Statutory / Clinical Standards
| Parameter / Rule | Standard / Threshold | Actionable Savings / Protection |
|---|---|---|
| Rev Code 0250 (Pharmacy) | Generic Tylenol / Zofran Billed at $85–$240/dose | Demand NDC & HCPCS J-Code itemization; benchmark at NADAC cost |
| Rev Code 0270 (Supplies) | Surgical Gloves, Gowns, Gauze Billed Separately | Illegal unbundling — already included in Operating Room time fee (Rev 0360) |
| Rev Code 0300 (Lab) | Duplicate Venipuncture & Basic Metabolic Panels | Challenge under CMS National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits |
2. Step-by-Step Execution Protocol
Never pay a summary hospital bill that only lists 'Pharmacy - $1,840' or 'Medical Supplies - $2,300.' Demanding the complete UB-04 form with 5-digit CPT/HCPCS codes and National Drug Codes (NDC) immediately exposes routine supplies (gloves, sutures, electrodes) that are legally bundled into the room rate under CMS NCCI edits.
