This question has been brought up to me
"Saline flushes for PICC and Ports, is there a cap on how many you can charge for? Ex. PICC's actually have NS 20ml flushes for each lumen and there are two lumens. Nursing is only charting on 1 lumen. Can we get more reimbursement for all 4, or no?"
My answer was that we can only charge cpt 96523 once. Is this correct? I cannot find any official guidelines on this.
