Wiki Distal Perfusion Catheter with ECMO

[leanneshelton@uabmc.edu]

HI!
I need some help. My doc is placing the patient on veno-arterial ECMO (33947 and 33954). He is also placing a distal perfusion arterial catheter in the SFA. Is this coded separately or do you think this should fall under 33954? Thank you!

Hello! I was wondering how you ended up billing this situation.

Thank you!

I would like to know how this is coded as well. Thank you!
