I have a patient that is 24 years old and has his fathers insurance until age 26. He is now married and his wife has insurance. Does her (wife) insurance become primary and fathers is now secondary? or now that he has his wife's insurance does that mean he can't have fathers insurance anymore?

The sedation medication we use is: Versed What is the appropriate HCPCS? Where do I list that on the CMS 1500 form? In response to question 'I recently posted a question regarding a medical claim and this was part of the response: "For the D9248 you will need to list the drugs used and their appropriate HCPCS code." "HCPCS stands for Healthcare Common Procedural Coding System and is published by the American Medical Association (AMA). This book lists drug codes, durable medical equipment codes, outpatient services, and more. You may purchase the book from any company that sells coding manuals. If you would like the specific HCPCS codes please list what drugs you are using for the D9248 (i.e. The HCPCS code for demerol is J2175). Thank you.
