Wiki HCPCS code for Thoracentecis Equipment?

[mbanerjee]

Hi, I work for a Pulmonary group and one of our providers would like to do Thoracentesis in the office setting. He wants to buy the thoracentesis kit and would like to know if there is a HCPCS code we can use for the equipment or is that included in the CPT code 32554 and 32555? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
