EKOS thrombolysis
Date: Jun 1, 2022
Question:
Patient had EKOS placed at 9:00 pm, and the EKOS cath was subsequently removed 12 hours later (on the following day). Is it appropriate to report 37214 since the service spanned two days? What documentation do we need to support EKOS thrombolysis on the subsequent days of treatment? What documentation do we need for removal? Can patient have EKOS cath removed at bedside in ICU? Should there be a procedure note?
