Wiki removal of coiled swan ganz catheter

[fanchon]

What is the code to REMOVE a Swan-Ganz catheter. Is the removal included in insertion code?

Unfortunately, there is no reimbursement for removal of swan ganz cath.

There is no additional reimbursement to leave a catheter in place for monitoring at the conclusion of Swan-Ganz catheterization, or for its subsequent removal.
