Hi there:

I've got an IVR note where the catheter and PTA and stent placement were all performed thru an existing indwelling infusion catheter.

Do I code the lower extremity vessel catheterization codes at all as the infusion catheter was in place prior to this encounter. I've searched the internet and couldn't find a similar scenario to get an answer.

All replies are welcome.

Thanks!:)
 
Hi there:

Thanks for replying. Can you site a reference guide that supports the coding scenario?
