Reader Question ~ Reprogramming Is Key to Pump Coding
Published on Thu Oct 26, 2006
Question: What code should I report when my physician checks a patient's infusion pump?

Answer: The correct code depends on the extent of your physician's service. If he checks the patient's pump but does not reprogram it, report 62367 (Electronic analysis of programmable, implanted pump for intrathecal or epidural drug infusion [includes evaluation of reservoir status, alarm status, drug prescription status]; without reprogramming). If your physician does reprogram the pump, report 62368 (- with reprogramming) instead.
