A patient is brought to the emergency department after the patient ingested a entire bottle of verapamil(estimated 20 pills) as a suicide attempt,as they left a note. Physician used glucagon HCI as an antidote it consisted 10mg/100 ml of D5W in an IV over 2 minutes., followed by 5mg/1ooml of d5W per hour for 2 more hours. A gastric lavage and aspiration was done. patient's vital signs stabilized the lab work returned to normal over the next few hours. Patient was transferred to inpatient psychiatric facility for follow-up treatment on her suicide attempt. ICD-9, CPT, HCPCS Level 2 Codes.
Is the cpt code 43753 correct for gastric lavage?Is E950.4 correct for the e code. I am having trouble finding the diagnosis code.
Is 99285 and 99255 for the medicines. Is J1610 right on the medicines.
