Can we code 50394 for this,
PROCEDURE: NEPHROSTOGRAM CHECK
After obtaining informed consent, the patient's lower abdomen and right
lower quadrant ostomy were prepped and draped in the usual sterile
manner. Contrast was injected through the patient's right lower quadrant
ostomy. A catheter and guide wire were advanced into the lumen of the
ostomy. Over the guide wire, an 8-french drainage catheter was advanced
and formed. The ostomy drainage catheter was placed over the drainage
catheter. The catheter was secured and urine was seen to freely flow
through the drainage catheter.
