Need help find a code for this scenario-
Patient is having a CT w/ contrast at an out patient facility. Patient is terrified of needles so came to our office (PCP) and had the IV access put in place. Patient left our office with IV access in place and 1 liter of saline flowing.
We don't typically do this so I am not familiar with the codes for this type of service. From what I have read, it seems like the placement of IV access and contrast is bundled in the procedure (CT) and is not billable separately..since we are not doing the CT, is there a way for our office to get paid for the service they provided???
