Revenue code 0250 corresponds to which category?

• A. Radiopharmaceuticals
• B. Self-administrable drugs
• C. Drugs and Biologicals
• D. Medical supplies

Answer: (C)

This item tests understanding of how hospital inpatient charges are categorized for billing. Revenue code 0250 is specifically designated for Drugs and Biologicals. That means any medications and biologic therapies administered to an in-patient and billed by the hospital would fall under this code, separate from other types of charges. Why this fits: the category Drugs and Biologicals is the standard grouping for pharmaceutical products and biologic agents used in patient care within the hospital, such as chemotherapy drugs, vaccines, or biologic treatments, when the hospital provides and administers them. Radiopharmaceuticals are billed using a different category tied to nuclear medicine or radiology services, not this general drug category. Self-administerable drugs aren’t typically billed under this inpatient drug category because they’re administered by the patient themselves or billed through different arrangements, and medical supplies refer to non-drug items like syringes, dressings, and oxygen equipment rather than the drugs themselves.
