Our radiology dept. removed a tunnelled catheter in which there is not cpt code that can be added - unless we use the miscellaneous - 32999 - MCR allows 352.38.

Can we build E/M charges for rad to use in these instances or should we bill the miscellanous codes associated with the type tube being pulled?

Thank you.
:rolleyes:
 
Hospital outpatient radiology department billing for catheter removal

Well this is not a central, but coming out of the chest cavity. Theres no code for this, unless we bill 32999, which I don't think is right. We were thinking about building an E&M code for stuff like this. For instance, we do dressing changes in this department. How would we bill that. Interesting.
