I have a medicare pt. who came into the ED for a "dislodgement" (not completely just loose) of a chest drainage tube. The ED dr. put in a couple of sutures to hold in place. Need help with dx code and CPT for procedure. I have V58.8 attention to artificial opening. (I don't think is accurate) and 12001 for simple suture. These codes edit out against each other stating they aren't likely.
What else is there to use??? I am drawing a blank
Have a good MONDAY and thanks for any help!!
