HI Guru

for the TAP injection, sometimes it comes across as a catheter that is placed, not a one shot inj.

and then which follow up code would i use for the catheter? 01996 or the E/M code?


thank you very much as always.

Happy New Year

01996 Daily management of epidural or subarachnoid drug administration

Since the code descriptor states this is for management of a epidural or subarachnoid placed infusion. I would believe it would exclude the use of this code for daily management of the TAP catheter.
