Wiki Straight Cath performed in ED

[pahines]

Can I code 51701, insertion of non-indwelling bladder catheter when the procedure is performed in the emergency dept. for the purpose of obtaining a urine sample and not postvoid urine? I do not get an edit with the E/M level or the urinalysis code.

Thanks
