The Pleurx drain was assessed for patency during this clinic office visit. 15 mL of sterile saline were instilled into the Pleurx drain. The Pleurx was then connected to a Pleurx Vacutainer and 25 mL of serous blood-tinged fluid were returned. One small clot was cleared from the tubing. Procedure was conducted in a sterile environment. Patient had no shortness of breath or complaints of pain. Procedure was tolerated well by the patient. The Pleurx is patent and functioning well.

I was wondering if the above scenerio is billable. This was performed in an office setting.

Thank you in advance for your help.
