    "description": "Intravenous infusion of a chemotherapy drug — or another agent complex enough to need the same level of monitoring — covering the first hour of the drip. The work bundled here is the whole nursing episode: preparing the agent, starting and running the line, watching the patient for reactions while it goes in, and flushing at the end. This is the opening code for an infusion visit; a drip that runs well past an hour, or a second agent given the same day, is captured by separate companion codes.",
