Does anyone know anything about how this should be coded? Is there an additional coding for the drawing of the blood or is it included in the procedure?

:confused:

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Hi .. we do blood patches here in our office/ASC. Was this done due to a post dural puncture headache? I talked with my DON and she said the drawing of the blood to use for the patch is included in the procedure of 62273. Hope this helps!
