Nephroureteral catheter exchange
Date: Oct 22, 2020
Question:
Patient has a nephroureteral catheter in on the right side and an access site on the left where her nephroureteral catheter was pulled out. We were consulted to insert a new nephroureteral catheter to the left (existing access site was open) and exchange the existing one on the right. The only code I can find is 50387 (50). Is this correct?
