Hello,
I have an anesthesiologist asking if there is a seperate code to report the use of a fiberoptic scope to place the double lumen tube used in a one lung ventilation case. We are reporting 00541. Is the use of the fiberoptic scope included? I would assume so since this scope is being used in the place of a usual bronchoscope, correct?
Thank you in advance!
