Wiki Swan Ganz Monitoring

[RILEY1959]

Our physician placed a Swan Ganz Monitor in a patient and they were told they could charge for monitoring the pressures every day. Is this correct? If so what would the daily monitoring code be?
thanks so much!

93503 would be your code choice.

Julie
I thought 93503 was just for the insertion and placement of the Swan
thanks

You are correct but it also includes "for monitoring purposes..."

For subsequent monitoring see 99356-99357.

HTH

99326-99357?? Prolonged service?

 

[RILEY1959]

sorry that should have stated 99356-99357 prolong service?

This is CPT direction. I have never had to bill multiple days, so it's only ever been 93503 for me. If you look at 93503 it suggests 99356-99357. Not sure that matches what you need but that is the direction. I will see if I can find anything on Supercoder.com in the article archives.
