March 14 a cath was inserted (36558) and June 2 it was removed (36590) in the office. Medicare denied the removal saying it was included in a previous procedure. We can't find where the removal is included in the insertion code and have always billed separately for removal.
Does anyone know if 36558 actually includes the removal also?
Thanks for any help.
