I'm looking for guidance on what CPT to bill for the following situation. Patient has a tunneled catheter inserted. The doctor says in his documentation that the central line was bleeding and he had to apply sutures. The entrance of the tunneled cath was anesthetized with lidocaine and the opening closed with 3 Ethilon sutures. I am not sure how to code this encounter. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
