Insulin Scanning

Written by HWS Clinical Ops | Feb 15, 2019 6:28:28 PM

Insulin is billable in increments of 20 units. This includes rapid acting insulin (HumaLOG, Lispro, etc.) in addition to insulin regular, insulin NPH, and insulin glargine (Lantus).

For example:

If the patient dose is 1 to 20 units of any insulin administered subcutaneouly, only one barcode scan is required, then backspace "20" and enter the number of units to be administered.

If the patient dose is 46 units of any insulin administered subcutaneously, three barcode scans are required, then backspace "60" and enter "46".
