We have a case where the physician has used a catheter to drain a collection of air (pneumoperitoneum) from the patient's right upper quadrant under CT guidance. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to code this? We are looking at 49080/77012 (but no fluid was drained) or something like 10160/77012 (but a catheter was used, not a needle). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
