Hello All:
How to code renal cyst aspiration 50200,76942 or 50390,76942 please confirm.
The patient was prepped and draped in a sterile manner.
Sonographic examination of the right flank demonstrated a large
cyst in the lower pole of the right kidney. The site was marked
and approximately 3 mL of 1% lidocaine were administered
subcutaneously. An 18-gauge needle was inserted percutaneously
under real-time sonographic guidance into the cyst, and an image
was recorded. Approximately 80 mL of straw-colored fluid was
aspirated. Residual fluid was sonographically visualized within
the cyst. The needle was then repositioned and a small amount of
fluid was aspirated, but the remainder could not be completely
aspirated.
