I am coding for an Anesthesia Practice Group and have a question of a diagnosis code. I have a question when trying to code for a patient who is being seen for the insertion of a Vascular Access Device. Insurance is not paying for the current code we are using. The ICD-9-CM volume 3 has a code 86.07. I know that Volume 3 is used b hospitals as procedure diagnosis code. I am confused on if I should use the Volume 3 code or if there is another code in Volumes 1 or 2 that I should be using instead.
