I have an Anesthesia Profvider asking me about this scenario: someone places an introducer into the central vein and charges for it(charge dropped for placement of central line), but sometime later he or someone else floats a Swan Ganz Catheter through the introducer, can you then code for the Swan?

Thank you,
Myra
 
Per the anesthesia guidelines , swan ganz and central line placement through same access site is inclusive , if line placement is done through different access site can report with modifier -59

Thanks

We get more money for the CVL so can I bill the CVL instead of the Swan Ganz when both are done, same site?
