If the physician sees an infant in the NICU and the visit is coded a 99479, and he also does a PICC placement 36568 (global to the 99479) plus sedation (99143), what exactly can be billed? Per the edits, the 99143 is included with the PICC placement, but since the PICC is global to the 99479, we won't be billing that separately. So does that mean we CAN bill the 99143? So would the correct codes be 99479 & 99143, or would it just be the 99479?
