Wiki foley catheter removal

[cooper1]

I thought removal of a foley catheter would be part of the e/m or is there a separate code for removal?

thanks

[ciphermed]

non-incisional removal of foley catheter is included in the E&M. Endoscopic and incisional removal of foley is not included in the E&M.

Removal of catheter (urinary) ( indwelling)

In the ICD 9 this seems to fall under V53.6 is this true. Thanks Linda Stricklin.
