Wiki 99601 - using just for port flush?
We have some patients who require a port flush at home, requiring separate nurse visits outside of their normal drug home infusion. I found this post on this forum from 2016 stating that 99601 can be used just for a nurse visit, including PICC line maintenance, even if no drug is administered...- ahrx13

Wiki 96523 Port Flush
This question has been brought up to me "Saline flushes for PICC and Ports, is there a cap on how many you can charge for? Ex. PICC's actually have NS 20ml flushes for each lumen and there are two lumens. Nursing is only charting on 1 lumen. Can we get more reimbursement for all 4, or no?"...- Noellecherie
