Injection of peritoneal catheter

Date: Oct 20, 2010

Question:

Hello Dr. Z Could you please help us?! The procedure that was done is a contrast injection of the peritoneal dialysis catheter under fluroscopy. The catheter was not functioning properly, the doctor wanted to see where the problem was. Would 36598 be appropriate, or should we go to an unlisted code? Thanks!!! Mindi Neeley Team Leader Coding
