Patient came to our facility with an existing PleurX catheter already in place but my doctor had to put a "drainage tubing kit" on the existing catheter to drain the fluid. Is there a procedure code for the service?
 
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Our Outpatient department recieved phyician orders to drain aPleurX catheter every 3 days for a patient. "PleurX drain accessed and drained via gravity drain" - I'm having a hard time finding a code for this
